Twins or no twins?

Went back earlier on Thursday and played with the twins. Haha..the mei mei can't stop talking. I don't think she can even stop talking and sit still for 1 minute!

Their helper asked if I could help explain to her the instructions given by their teacher for kite making - their holiday assignment..yes! nursery have holidays assignments too! Faint right?! Luckily she did not ask me to help design or draw on the kite....Haha....because I can't do arts for nuts....

Looking at the twins, it set me thinking on the challenges of raising twins:
1. Parents have to do 2 sets of homework at a time! Yes DO - for example: the kite; definately the parents would be the ones who had to do it in the end...haha
2. It would definately be more expensive to raise twins than 2 children who are not twins -- Parents have to buy 2 sets of everything from clothes, toys etc --> cannot use hand me downs
3. Double the noise level at home

However, the mummy only needed to go through pregnancy and labour pains once and 'ta-dah'...2 babies!! Haha...Moreover, there would not be any age gaps and the twins have each other as play buddies.

If I have a choice, I would rather have twins - 1 boy and 1 girl. Haha..the best of both worlds....!!
