Fun facts about the Twins

I'm bored.  How bout I write a blog post!?  Funny, maybe funny, strange, weird, ironic facts about Me and My Twin.


1.  We were born exactly 30 minutes apart.  Our poor mother.  I was breech.  This was back in the day when they just went ahead and had the moms deliver the breech babies.  I showed my best side to the world from the get go.

2.  We were shipped to Riley Childrens Hospital after we were born.  Mom and Dad hadn't named us yet, so we were Baby A, and Baby B.

3.  Angie, Twin 1, has a degree in Law Enforcement.  Chrissy, me Twin 2, has a degree in teaching Special Education.  We are both now Board Registered Polysomnographists.

4.  Our husbands both have the same ex-girlfriend. 

5.  Growing up, it was predicted that Angie would have a million pets and maybe a few kids, Chrissy would have a million kids and maybe a few pets.  Now that we're adults, Angie has a million kids and two pets.  Chrissy has one kid and a million pets.

6.  We were room mates in college.  This was NOT by choice to begin with.  They roomed us together because they processed the dorm applications in the order they were received.  Since they received ours at the same time, they put us in the same room.  We were told once we got to college, we could request new roommates.  Once we GOT to college, we decided to just stay together since we didn't know anyone else.

7.  The nick names Twin 1, and Twin 2, were given to us by our neighbors at college.  They couldn't remember our names, so they just named us Twin 1 and Twin 2 and the nick names stuck.  To this day, I SWEAR there are still people from college that don't know our names.

8.  We both met our husbands in the same place at college.  Campus Ministries.

9.  We are both in love with Notre Dame football, Adam Levine, and chocolate.

10.  We both despised every single minute of high school and don't feel like we really came to life until we left. College, on the other hand, was a freakin hoot.  LOVED every minute of college.

11.  We have matching twin tattoos. 


I'm tired, I can't think of any more. 

It's either we laugh, or we moon the mailman.

I've had too much caffeine

So, we are getting ready to complete our yearly home study update for adoption.  It's something that has to be done each year to keep us eligible for adoption.  Anyway, I have been thinking of crazy things kids say and I have decided to write down the WORST things kids could say during a home study.

1.  "Mommy drinks ALOT after the nice church ladies leave."

2.  "Those child proof tops on Mommys Happy Meds are REALLY easy to get off."

3.  "Mommy told me before you got here if I touched anything in the house she would rip my arms off and feed them to the dog."

4.  "Mommy says she really hopes you don't look in the attic 'cause that's where she keeps the instruments of torture."

5.  "Mommy threatened Daddy with bodily harm and possible death if he didn't get off his lazy butt and help her clean the house."

6.  "Mommy doesn't kiss Daddy like she does "Uncle Charlie."

7.  "Mommy took a triple dose of meds before you came here this morning.  She says she hopes you don't notice her pupils are fixed and dilated."

8.  "Mommy said if I don't tell you that I'm a happy kid and love my home that she would lock me in a closet and feed me nothing but bread and water for a week."

9.  "Mommy says she hopes you don't get in the special drawer in her bedroom that has some funny lotions in it. "

10.  "Mommy says she's going to jump off the roof if she has to do one more *&^% home study."

11. " Sometimes when Mommy and Daddy are sleeping, I like to play scientist with all the cleaning products I can find."

12.  "Last week, my baby brother was eating out of the litter box and Mommy said that which does not kill us makes us stronger."

13.  "Yesterday, the cat bit my baby brother, and as he was bleeding all over the place, Mommy called the vet to get the cats shots updated for the first time in 5 years."

14.  "Last week, Daddy complained about dinner and Mommy threw the food across the kitchen and told Daddy to make his own (*&^ dinner next time."


I'm not right in the head.  For the record...my kid has only said ONE of these in public.  I will let you guess which one.
