Multiple Blessing

For some reason when you are pregnant with multiples or have your multiples with you already people love to comment on them. It almost feels like at times that these people wait in stores until they have seen a set of multiples just so their day is complete. The comments begin quickly in your pregnancy and so far they haven't stopped. Here is the top 10:
1. Are they twins?
2. Are they identical?
3. I'm glad it's you and not me! (I personally hate this one)
4. Double trouble
5. You've got your hand's full
6. You must be tired
7. Are they natural? (Is this really a question that strangers should care to know?)
8. Do you want more children?
9. I couldn't do it
10. Do twins run in your family?


My responses to those questions:
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. I'm glad it's me and not you also!
4. Double the blessing and the love
5. Yes I do but I love it
6. They sleep 12 hours at night I'm actually pretty well rested!!
7. Yes they are with a look of disdain that they even ask that
8. Yes we do!
9. You probably couldn't
10. No they don't it was just a surprise gift

My favorite answer so far was from a father of triplets who was a pediatrician and was sick of answering whether they were natural or not... his response became "We don't really know how it happened but we were eating a lot of broccoli at the time" Coming up with funny random or vague answers sometimes helps the monotony of these questions and helps you from getting frustrated as you try to quickly run errands and everyone tries to stop you.
