IDENTICAL TWIN STORIES

Reddit asked people for identical twin stories. Here are some of the responses:
– “My boyfriend is an identical twin. He told me that his parents would differentiate him from his brother by putting nail polish on one of their big toes when they were babies. One night, while bathing them, the nail polish chipped off and in the confusion, his parents couldn’t tell them apart. They just made their best guess as to who was who.”
– “The doctors put a Sharpie mark on one of our heads and told our parents to keep put the mark on our heads till they figured it out.”
– “My brother and I had name bands on one leg. One morning they discovered that both bands had fallen off. So they weighed us and the heavier one (by an ounce) was me. Probably correct.”
– “I knew a twin girl who said that at around age 4-5, she and her sister decided they each wanted to be the other name, so they just switched. Their family had a hard time keeping track of who was who anyway, so when a girl insisted they were a name, they went with it.”
– “We applied for our drivers licenses and when we looked at our birth certificates we realized our mom had our middle names mixed up for the first sixteen years of our life. I still struggle to remember what my middle name actually is.”
– “My sister has a lazy eye so my parents just had to wait for us to get tired.”
– “I played an April Fools joke with daycare once. Dressing my boy/girl twin babies in the other’s clothes. They looked alike as babies so much that daycare only found out when it was time for a diaper change.”
– “Mom here. I still call them the wrong names, you know, just to keep them on their toes.”
– “Dated an identical twin. At family dinner, one pulled the “I’m two minutes older than you” bit. Without skipping a beat, Grandma (of all people) interjects with “you know, you always throw away the first pancake.”
