Twin jokes I make as a twin (in no particular order):
- on my birthday, I refer to it as my brothers birthday (if they know I have a twin) or my twin brother’s birthday (if they don’t know) just to see what happens
- there are no “twinsies” around me, only “tripletsies” because I already have a twin. This is often how people find out I have a twin
- in the same vein, there’s no “hey twin” it’s “hey triplet” because, again, I already have a twin
- insist that we CAN read each other’s minds actually but I’m not telling YOU (gatekeeping)
- sometimes I call him my wombmate
- when I say I have a brother, but not that he’s my twin, and people inevitably ask who is older, I’ll hem and haw on it for a bit then start my answer with “technically,”
- I did this more so when I was younger, but it’s still fun now and then, when people meet my brother and I at the same time, I ask them to guess who is older and then, while neither confirming nor denying their answer, ask them by how much. I’ve gotten up to FOUR years
