Twins of Different Color - We aren't alone





I recently read about twins, born in Germany, who looked nothing alike. One was white and the other black. Interesting, Huh? The odds of this happening are one in a million. So maybe we aren't so different after all.

Every where we go, we attract attention. It's understandable. It's not everyday you see infant twins much less twins that are different colors. Mine are not as extreme as black and white, but we still get so much attention. You would not believe the comments that people say.

Here are a few:

Are they twins? (hmmm...let me think about this one)

How come they aren't the same color? (ok, do I need to explain something called genetics?)

Is one adopted?

So you must of done infertility treatment? (how does infertility treatment and skin color connect?)

How did that happen? ( so when a man and a woman really love each other...)

Are they identical? (I don't know, you tell me..hahaha)

This is my favorite.... Are you sure their twins? (what?? I can't remember)


lol. This happens everyday. It is amazing what comes out of people's mouths. There is so much more. But that is another post for another day. All I know is that my ladies are one in a million regardless of their skin color.

Oh my gosh this is so funny! The girls at the top actually look identical except for the skin color! So it turns out your girls are really unique...one in a million!!!! (= I personally think it's awesome!
