[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are stupid.

One way to address this is to thank people and immediately say:[b] I know, I won the lottery with my girls, they're both so kind/smart/beautiful. [/b]

The other is to teach your kid to value herself regardless of how the world views her. This is the most important thing to teach a woman. Beautiful or not.

I like this response because while it acknowledges that one dd beautiful it also acknowledges the other girls beauty ( and hopefully the person giving the compliment gets the point that they are two girls standing in front of him her ).

I also like the advice that you should acknowledge this issue head on with your girls. [/quote]

Right. I believe you, OP, because I've seen variations on this with some families I know. I think your best bet is to deflect the compliment in some way that reminds the speaker that you have two daughters AND ONE OF THEM IS RIGHT THERE, and they should be valued for things other than their looks.

Some other ideas …

Thank you; they are both wonderful girls.

Thank you; it's so much fun having twins.

Thank you; I'm so fortunate, they're pretty on the inside, too!
