The people part is annoying yes lol.
Luckily despite being identical I'm like 6 inches taller than my twin. Turns out being born weighing twice as much means my twin never caught up in height! So easier to tell apart.
But that means very few people believe we're twins now though. It was less pronounced as kids.
Hope your girlfriend's kids grow up and punch the weirdos who ask the sexual questions.
Haha i'm the one being really annoying when tjey get asked stupid questions. I'm really good at making conversation awkward for everyone involved. Not twin related, but they both play soccer and they are the only girls in their soccer team. Their trainer is like 65 and he told me that he wishes he had more girls playimg soccer. The next time i was watching them, some boy was yanking on her hair. Like violently. And one of them grabbed the other one between the legs. I had to be really careful to not drop kick a 6 year old in the face. I told the guy: soo... Are you gonna do somethimg about it? And he was like: what? So i told him. And ge said: yeah the girls keep tellimg him that they yank their hair, but he hasn't really seen anything. And you know how boys are, in a few years, they are gonna love this.
I had no idea i had as much restrained in my body to not beat the ahit out of him. And in hindsight, i wish i hadn't. Anyway, they are now in a all girls team.
Ah yes, the being tormented! A 'fun' part of childhood!
I kicked the one boy who did it the most while I was wearing cowboy boots as hard as I could. Mother told them if they had stopped it, maybe he wouldn't have had his shins kicked in.
Having to deal with chikdren made me realise how hard it sometimes was to be a child. I think it was sometimes easier being a boy, but just like later in life, i didn't really enjoy spending time with guys. Like my friends are nice and cool. Random guys, yeah no thanks. But also, girls can be just as bad, in a different way. Like they are really skinny, and do sports like soccer and muai thai, and we hike a lot. One day a girl came home and asked me if her legs were fat, because that's what the girls in school told her. Her sister who dresses similar as her identical twin got made fun of because she's wearing pants instead of a dress. It's often shit they saw on tik tok.
Also i just googled how much 6 inches are. Wow that's a sizable difference. That's pretty funny actually. No way i wouldn't call my twin mini me
Twin would shank me for saying that. Twin also reads my lemmy occasionally, so eventually they will come up to me and say "Yes I would shank you" lol
Hilarious. Sometime you gotta risk a bit of shanking for the bit.
