[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is twin day??

But yeah some of this annoys me too, although DC’s teacher this year is pretty good about sending emails.[/quote]

National Twins Day is December 18.  Just a one day celebration for twins.

There is also the Twins Day festival which is separate from National Twins Day.  The Twins Day festival is usually the first full weekend in August (this year it will be August 5-7) and is a 3 day festival in Twinsburg, OH.  It's like a huge carnival that has a midway, food, games, and a celebration of twins.  People come from all over the country (not just multiples, but many people come just to celebrate and have fun) to attend.

That’s not what we mean.   Twin day means dress like someone else (so a pair dressed alike) for a day.   It’s a great way to see visually who has no friends.   [/quote]

Our school district does this multiple times a year.  My dd loved it and her friends would do elaborate outfits together.  My sons range from "Who cares" to "I want to do it because we get participation points" The solution we have come up with is to a have a tshirt from the local football team (we don't watch football, but Goodwill always has them available for a few $) My son wears the football shirt for twin days. On any given day at least 10 boys in middle school have on a shirt for the team. Last week when they had twin day ds came home and said at least 50 kids in the school wore one.  Turns out lots of kids don't care enough to plan with a classmate but also don't want to be left out.[/quote]
