The first time was when Wagon Jr. was over 4 years old and LMW wasn't even walking yet... I was like... what?!?!?

DD is also way above average in height and DS is slightly below so I'm sure she'll catch up to him before long!

People asked until we were probably 5 or 6 years old. My dad started saying "Yes, they are. But they were born 2 years apart."

Someone recently asked us if our son was twins with the blonde girl on the right here: <a href="http://instagram.com/p/fGecc-iAwD/" rel="nofollow">http://instagram.com/p/fGecc-iAwD/</a> I was like... ??? You win this one though! Twice in one day!

I was shocked the first time, and felt like I was on hidden camera the second time. wonderstruck on "Do people ask if your kids are twins?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ask-if-your-kids-are-twins#post-1643265 Sun, 18 May 2014 19:20:00 +0000 wonderstruck 1643265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My brother and I were a year and a week apart and got this question CONSTANTLY. My brother would say, "No! I'm older!" Which was not true, and I would immediately begin to protest, we'd start fighting, and they would get a 'see what you started?' look from my mom as she said that we were not. haha chopsuey on "Do people ask if your kids are twins?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ask-if-your-kids-are-twins#post-1643257 Sun, 18 May 2014 19:17:40 +0000 chopsuey 1643257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ When they see the kids in our double stroller, they do. Doesn't make sense though, since DD looks a lot bigger when seated. :P cyndistar3 on "Do people ask if your kids are twins?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ask-if-your-kids-are-twins#post-1643254 Sun, 18 May 2014 19:16:42 +0000 cyndistar3 1643254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Haha never! They are 3 1/2 years apart but they also look very much different.

I vividly remember one time when we were at circuit city a lady would not accept that we were not twins... Like we would lie about that. Mrs. Champagne on "Do people ask if your kids are twins?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ask-if-your-kids-are-twins#post-1643177 Sun, 18 May 2014 18:35:21 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1643177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Growing up people always asked if my brother and sister were twins. They are 23 months apart. My sister and I are only 15 months apart though and no one ever asked about us! Veggiemama on "Do people ask if your kids are twins?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ask-if-your-kids-are-twins#post-1643175 Sun, 18 May 2014 18:32:53 +0000 Veggiemama 1643175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes! Every time they are in our City Mini double (side by side) someone asks/comments about them being twins. They are 18 months apart but it's so weird to me. Mrs. High Heels on "Do people ask if your kids are twins?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ask-if-your-kids-are-twins#post-1643067 Sun, 18 May 2014 16:51:14 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1643067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope, the kids are 26 months apart and J still has a good amount of baby chub on him, whereas N has leaned out. J might catch up to N in height though - so we'll see! Baby Boy Mom on "Do people ask if your kids are twins?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ask-if-your-kids-are-twins#post-1642948 Sun, 18 May 2014 15:16:03 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1642948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, when they are in the double stroller. Although it's crazy to me because the "baby" still looks very much like a baby, and my older one looks like a kid. mrbee on "Do people ask if your kids are twins?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ask-if-your-kids-are-twins#post-1642888 Sun, 18 May 2014 14:31:14 +0000 mrbee 1642888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Seattlemom: It's not annoying to me! It's just surprising to me that so many people ask. But hearing that lots of other people get asked is comforting. lady grey on "Do people ask if your kids are twins?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ask-if-your-kids-are-twins#post-1642879 Sun, 18 May 2014 14:26:45 +0000 lady grey 1642879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Noting this, to make sure I don't ask people this question! I'm sure it gets annoying after a while...

Which blows my mind because mine is petite and dark, and my niece is big and tall and SO fair! They are only 6 months apart though. Sparkler on "Do people ask if your kids are twins?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ask-if-your-kids-are-twins#post-1642802 Sun, 18 May 2014 12:32:25 +0000 Sparkler 1642802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Mine are a bit less than 2 years and if they are in the double stroller then I am asked daily. When they are running around, it's clear they are not. Andrea on "Do people ask if your kids are twins?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ask-if-your-kids-are-twins#post-1642795 Sun, 18 May 2014 12:23:47 +0000 Andrea 1642795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not yet. I don't think this will happen because they are almost 3 years apart, but I guess you never know! Dandelion on "Do people ask if your kids are twins?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ask-if-your-kids-are-twins#post-1642683 Sun, 18 May 2014 10:42:28 +0000 Dandelion 1642683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My kids are almost 7 years apart, so no. Although, M looks a lot like D as a baby. My brother is 9 years younger than me, and as he turned to a teen and young adult, people actually asked if we were twins! mrs.shinerbock on "Do people ask if your kids are twins?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ask-if-your-kids-are-twins#post-1642679 Sun, 18 May 2014 10:37:18 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1642679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ People ask if my 6 mo old LO and her 15 mo old twin cousins are triplets when we are all out together. (To be fair, she is the same size as them. :silly: ) HLK208 on "Do people ask if your kids are twins?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ask-if-your-kids-are-twins#post-1642636 Sun, 18 May 2014 10:00:35 +0000 HLK208 1642636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ A few times...and they're 3 years apart!! Haha. Someone said, you're so lucky you only had to be pregnant once to get a boy and a girl.

We got asked it all.the.time! autumnlove on "Do people ask if your kids are twins?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ask-if-your-kids-are-twins#post-1642626 Sun, 18 May 2014 09:53:50 +0000 autumnlove 1642626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, when they are seated!

Mine are 15 months apart, but what I don't understand is DS is 2 and DD is 9 months...they are clearly NOT twins... mrbee on "Do people ask if your kids are twins?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-ask-if-your-kids-are-twins#post-1642612 Sun, 18 May 2014 09:39:28 +0000 mrbee 1642612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Our kids are 22 months apart, and we hear this question several times a week! I got asked 3 times just yesterday... I'm just going to start saying yes haha. Maybe I'll ask them which one they think is older... Do people ask if your kids are twins?
