July 6 2024 - Twin Facts

 

Twins usually are born one after the other and so on for multiple births.  Here are some of the circumstances that occur:

Twins born minutes apart - on different days
Twins born minutes apart - on different days, different months
Twins born minutes apart - on different days, different months and different years

The longest interval between the birth of twins is 90 days.   One was born on January 1st and the second on March 30th, 1996.  There are a few times that such long stretches have happened in the U.S.

 Did you know that two children born within 12 months of each other are derogatorily  called Irish twins. That's an historical saying when the Irish Catholics emigrated to the U.S. For three born 3 years apart Irish triplets.  I guess it could go on. 

Here are the "Short-and-Sweet Quotes About Twins"

  • Definition of twin: two bodies, one heart
  • Born with a built-in bestie
  • Twins are double the work and double the joy
  • BFF: Born Forever Friends
  • Twins are a wish that came true twice
And there are the twin jokes:

My sister had twins, a boy and a girl, and asked for help naming them. She liked my suggestion of calling the girl Denise, but had second thoughts when I suggested calling the boy Danephew.

Amal and Juan are identical twins. Their mom only carries one baby photo in her wallet. Because if you've seen Juan you've seen Amal.
