I used to get conversations with all the dears in the shopping centre all the time. It used to go something like this

"Ooh twins! "

"Gee they are small"

and the clincher for me

"Were the natural"

and then they would try and touch them- by this stage i would have steam coming out of my ears and would come back with some smart comment so they would realise how dumb they actually sounded!!!

I would say - they were triplets but i lost one whilst i was shopping, so if you see him let me know!

or they are as natural as an egg and a sperm can get!

THe classic was when i went for a coffee one day at Gloria Jeans. My twins were like 2 months old. She asked me if they wanted a bubba chino as well- i asked them if she had them in breastmilk flavour! She just gave me that dumb look!


I used to get stopped so many times when i was shopping that it became soo annoying. People would actually stand in front of my pram so i couldnt get past them! And god help me if one of them was crying, every single grey haired lady would approach me and give me advice as to why one of my babies was crying!
Just what a first time mum with prem twins needs!

Ok Rant over
