I was checking out at Wegmans today, and the cashier asked if the girls were twins, and he said he'd never seen twins before!Wha-ha? I asked him to repeat it, because I was sure I had misheard. He had to be at least 18, because he sold me a bottle of wine, I would guess he was in his early 20s. I usually see another set of twins every time I shop at that store! I couldn't believe he'd never met twins before. He thought it was so cool. He told me he had heard they are good luck, I said well they are for me.

Wow! That is unusual! You sure he didn't say he'd never seen such cute twins before?

Are yours identical? Perhaps that was the confusion?
Regardless, that IS a strange comment.

I once had a 30ish-looking grocery store checkout guy ask me "what is this" and hold up a bundle of *asparagus*. Some people are just either not very observant or have an extremely narrow range of experience.

Hmmm he must be really not observant. Where they dressed alike? I'm guessing he never thought much about it and just hadn't ever noticed identical twins that were dressed alike......it does seem odd.

That's bizarre. Although I once had a teenage girl sit down next to me on a bench while I was nursing DS and exclaim "I didn't know you could DO that!" Well honey...what did you think they were for?

The biggest mistake I made is the one that most of us make...I did not live in the moment enough. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less. - Anna Quindlen

When I first saw this smiley I thought he was taking a toke off of a "special" cigarette! LOL! Originally Posted by arivecchi

Which could have also been the case with this never-seen-a-twin-before boy.

It was really bizarre! I said you've NEVER met twins before?? He said no. They weren't dressed identically, but very similarly. I asked if he's from around here and he said not really. Hmmm. If it were a TV show, he'd be an alien. "I've heard twins are good luck...on our planet they don't exist"
