I can't get the image of those Panda Express commercials out of my head where the two (twin?) Pandas are getting into all sorts of shenanigans.

I dunno IHO.. When i think about twin commercials, I think about this "A Double Pleasures Waiting for You" I used to sing and whistle to this song when i was in 4th grade watching this commercial.

I know that the two ladies are identical twins, i wonder if the two guys picking up the ladies' hats are faternal twins?
 
Have any of you ever seen Chinese twins? I've never met one in my life. I think they are an extremely rare find.

Sure there are. They are just kept secretive from the public. One specializes in verbal and the other specializes in math. A quick switch at the toilet stall during potty break both achieved perfect SAT scores.
 
Twin! My brother is a fraternal twin.... and yes, we finish each other's sentences. And i am a true gemini.

What questions would you liek to know.
 
Twins runs in the family. So I was afraid that I might have twins (cousins are twins). It would be good for them to grow up together, they would always have someone to play with. The idea of having to look after 2 new born babies does not appeal to me - one is hard enough.
 
I have to admit I'm a little bit envious of the only child households right now. The last couple days have been with just my daughter and I at home. There is a profound calm and sense of order that has bestowed on the house since the boys left. All I kept thinking was 'so this is what it must be to have one child...geez this is nice'. Having twins would be nice for the children. Seems like a lot of work for the parents, though.

As someone who is an only child, it kinda sucked having grown up without a brother or sister (especially a younger one to pick one). I'm sure it's easier for parents of only children than parents of multiple children, but easier on the parents isn't necessarily better for the only children. My mom always wanted to have a daughter to help her clean the house (supposedly I don't how to do it good enough) and go shopping with her. She was concerned of having another son because I was such a trouble maker growing up plus once we got to the US my parents were too busy working hard trying to move in life and their man focus was not on having another child.

T-man.. i hate to break the news to you, but you did have a twin brother who went up for adoption right after you guys were both born 10 minutes apart. He was adopted by the one of the most wealthiest man in the world. Mr. Hilton. T-man, you grew up poor but you were highly educated and you've accomplished a lot with your life, but your twin brother Perez on the other hand, grew up with money and have accomplished absolutely nothing.
 
Twins run in my wife's family and mine. I'm an identical twin, my cousins (my mom's sister's kids) are identical twins and I believe that my mom's uncles were twins (fraternal?). My wife has fraternal twin uncles. As it turned out, I have identical twin sons. I also thought that the twin gene passed through the mom side so maybe it did so through my wife.

Raising twin boys is pretty rough. We were zombies the first year to year and a half. No sleep. They are a little more independent now and we can interact with them. They are amazing and I would completely do it over again in a heartbeat. I have a much better idea of what my parents went through raising us. I also see the attention that my parents must have gotten as we were growing up.
 
What happened to the posts after #33 (Sept. 28)?? Panda, did you request deletion? A chunk of conversation went missing. Hope we're not having malfunctions.
