[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This usually happens with Baby Boomer relatives who don’t know my kids that well and are trying to get to know them. But it comes out all wrong. Like they’ll spend 15 minutes with the kids, one will catch the football that particular time, and they will go on to later say oh So-and-so is “the athletic one.” Or they’ll have one conversation with them and think the one who happened to interact more on that topic is “the talkative one.” As though twins must always be opposites or something. It’s extraordinarily grating to me but I do think it comes from an attempt to know them better. I usually just say “we try not to compare them.” But it’s kind of human nature. I have two same-breed dogs and I get these same silly questions and comments about the dogs too. [/quote]

Yes, thank you... "the athletic one" or similar drives me nuts. I think I am going to stick with the "we don't compare" because it's happening more just as they are becoming more aware. [/quote]
