Twins?!? Ummmm, no!

This is the Tank and my niece, "Mimi". I've been watching Mimi since she and the Tank were a year old. Her momma (my little sister) went to work after I decided to stay home with my kiddos and leave the "workforce". Five days a week for YEARS.... this summer her sister is watching her. We miss Mimi soooo much. Tank and Mimi are like two peas in a pod. He misses having her here. Tonight we found out that she will be coming again once school starts... Yippee! They are both half-day kinders... so after school they will get to play once again. :o)

Now the story behind the title of this post:
One of the door counters at Costco saw me multiple times a week (diapers, wipes, fruit snacks, chicken nuggets ~ you know how it goes) and she asked me how old all the kiddos were. I responded four, three, three, eighteen months and nine months. She smiled and expressed how insane I was to be shopping with that many youngins' by myself. I laughed and agreed with her but when you are out of diapers/pull-ups you do what you have to do. The next week I walk in and she tells a coworker that I have a TON of kids all under four, including a set of TWINS. I correct her and let her that the three year olds are cousins. She doesn't believe me... she still greets Tank and Mimi as the "twin cousins" and sort of winks. I think she thinks I'm crazy and am just lost in a daze of confusion and not aware that I had a set of twins or something. Now we call them the Mexicalli-twins. (they are both half)
