How many pair of twins have you met?

We have identical twin nieces and our DiL is also an identical twin.

Both our DD’s had twins in their primary school classes and one had two sets of twins in her class.

Just two I think. One set in my class at grammar school, and I taught a non identical, girl, boy pair.

Again, what does it matter?

I used to teach twins and they were so identical that even their mother had trouble identifying them. One had a small mole on their face which was the only way we could tell which one was which.

One of my daughter's friends had, at one point, five boys 3 and under; twins, a single and twins again!

In Finland on holiday years ago I met little blonde twins - and they are much more common there.

Also, at a playgroup, I once saw two-year-old triplets... very confusing to see three identical little girls running around!

In my school, there were two pairs of identical twins in my grade. One pair wore different coloured glasses, and one pair had different hair styles, so you could tell them apart. Another girl in my grade had older sisters who were identical twins. I also have cousins who are twins (boy and girl), and my stepdaughter has a brother and sister who are twins, her mum and stepfather's children.

I have a twin brother, it's a very special relationship to be a twin. I went to school with a few sets. As a teacher I have taught a few twins over the years but only one set of triplets. Two of my uncles married woman who were twins. And I have a few friends who are twins.
