Ive always wonderd if it was 'wrong' to call them The Twins. Everyone does it, it doesnt bother me. I just hope it doesnt affect them begin individualls. It hasnt so far but who knows. What do you think?
Before watching this video I asked my girls if I am talking about you do you want me to refer to you as Alandra and Lyric or "The Twins" I gave them the example "Alandra and Lyric are going to Mimis" or "The Twins are going to Mimis" They both agreed they prefer "The Twins" The absolutely LOVE being twins and want the world to know that they are. ;) They use it to their advantage like if my mom wants ONE of them to go over to her house they will say but Mimi we are twins so we have to stick together. So guess what? They both get to go! haha I love their bond. It's absolutely amazing. =)
I have to stop doing this. Hayley has friends who are twins and I always call them the twins. I need to stop doing this and your video is a good reminder! You are adorable!
My sound isn't working on this computer so didn't watch the video but my aunts are twins and most of my dad's family referred to them as "the twins" with what seemed to be a term of endearment. I'm not sure how they felt about it but can see how it may affect their feelings of individuality.
