How to Write About Twins; How to Have Twins

When the amount of care is doubled with having twins, so will effort. First thing's first, no matter the circumstance it is crucial to dress a set of twins in the same outfit. Color coordination is vital. If the same outfit is not available, resort to the same color. When your children grow up into young adults, they will love looking back in the heavy scrapbooks you made and see the consistent outfit pattern you followed. 

Next, gifts galore! Make sure any holiday shopping you set out to do involves sets of the same gift! Here's where you can get a little crazy. Instead of repeating the same color duo, you can buy the same present but purchase the gift in different colors! This is so convenient because, seeing as they are twins, meaning they must have the exact same interests and personalities, will be ballistically ecstatic! 

When knowing a set of twins who aren't your children, comparing them is also something they really love. As if there isn't enough unwritten competition in their lives against one another already, you should spice it up just a little bit more and point out their similarities and differences! It's so fun to have people acknowledge ways that your twin exceeds you! 

Have fun with your insanely satisfied clones!

P.S. I was fortunate enough to grow up NOT living with these sort of things, not saying that they are wrong or displeasing, but in my eyes, this is a sort of childhood I'm glad I was not objected to. Having an identity of my own is satisfying; although some aspects of being a twin is inevitable. Of course, it should be pointed out that I'm not an identical twin so I cannot relate to that perspective.

I have noticed the language between the lines in life
 and it says that I'm exhausted. 
I have collected a few people 
- or rather they have collected me.
 I feel like a monster - I love them entirely, but they tire me out to a point of identity crisis. 
I have to take them in doses, like prescription pills.
 But I feel terrible for my constant leaves of absences. 
We are all in this disoriented stage of limbo because of the hanging time between the phase from child to adulthood. 
They do not understand, I have to get back what they drain. 
My tendencies offend; they create tension.
 It seems all my life I surround myself with people who are in the same position and we all take rather than give, there a few rare neutrals. 
I find myself as a giver. 
Some are drawn to me and unfortunately;
 Its starting to make me wilt; 
there's this illusion of alienation tailing my heels.

PERSUADING A THREE YEAR OLD TO EAT THEIR BROCCOLI:

   Yes, the broccoli is green and smells funny and isn't sugary and sweet like everything else you love. But compare it to other foods you look! Don't you like other foods that happen to be green? For instance, remember when that green apple looked kind of weird but then you tried it and enjoyed it? Maybe broccoli will be the same! You'll never know unless you try it!! And it might smell bad but so does sweet potato and you love sweet potato! Don't try things just because they scare you and you don't know them that well, try it and be brave! You might end up liking it, or hating it. Either way, you will be confident in your decision for future notice.
