After raising the twins for a few years what are some things youβve learned about them most people probably donβt know
Okay so, here is the list of things I learned while taking care of the twins that almost people don't know:
- They can communicate entire conversations through eye contact.
- That first point is horrifying.
- Neither of them remembered to eat unless reminded.
- Both claimed the other was the difficult one.
- Andrew used to keep count of things. steps, ceiling tiles, fence posts. Anything.
- Aaron always knew when Andrew was having a bad day before anybody else.
- They switched places exactly once and immediately got caught because neither of them could imitate the other's handwriting.
- Andrew hated having his hair cut.
- Aaron cried during movies and got mad if anybody noticed.
- If one got sick, the other usually slept worse.
- Neither of them liked admitting they were scared. Both of them wanted somebody to stay anyway.
- If one was missing from a room for too long, the other would eventually go looking.
- Neither of them would ever admit that last one.
- Aaron talks in his sleep.
- Andrew steals blankets. not because he's cold. because apparently if he's awake nobody else deserves comfort either.
- Aaron always ate the marshmallows out of cereal first. Andrew left them for last. That's probably the biggest one.
- They both hated thunderstorms but handled it completely differently. Aaron would stay awake, Andrew would act annoyed that they existed.
- Neither of them liked being left alone after nightmares. They'd rather throw themselves into traffic than admit that.
- They both learned how to tell when the other was upset from across a room. I never figured out how.
- Andrew likes routines way more than people realize.
- Aaron hums when he's concentrating.
- They both think they're subtle. They are not.
- And despite all evidence to the contrary, both of them were incredibly affectionate kids, just in ways nobody knew how to recognize.
And I think @ykwhatigetit will find this amusing
