I feel sorry for fraternal twins. They really get the short end of the “twin” stick. I mean it’s like they’re not even twins at all… Everybody LOVES identical twins, but nobody “ooohs” and “aaaahs” when they see a set of fraternal twin babies… Why? Because there’s nothing special about two kids who don’t look alike. People see that every day…
You never see fraternal twins in Doublemint commercials, they probably get teased by the “real” twins at twin camp, and you can’t dress them in matching outfits because they just end up looking like they’re wearing hand-me-downs from their older identical twin siblings. I’m sure they’d never admit it, but I bet the parents of fraternal twins feel like they got jipped — cuz they’re just as expensive as identicals, but only half as fun… And I mean then there’s the whole fantasy thing — I mean guys don’t drool over fraternal twins… “Tina and Timothy… that is so HOT!…” I just don’t think it’s fair.
