Fraternal twins are in separate sacs, but aren't identical twins in the same one?
Babies kissing in utero is terribly sweet.
Unless they're really just hungry.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Some are, some aren't. This turns out to be very good for twin researchers, because many physicians believe that all identical twins are monochorionic, and they announce to the parents with authority that the twins are fraternal. That way we get to compare identical twins whose parents think that they are fraternal to identical twins whose parents think that they are identical.

Monique, you forgot to add the Hot Wheels. Finger puppets and hot wheels.

Not necessarily. Many monozygotic twins are not monoamniotic. Though all monoamniotic are monozygotic. You can have monozygotic twins in separate amniotic sacs with one placenta. Or you can have monozygotic twins with the exact same set up as fraternal twins.

eta: Tom, I meant to say something about Dean and Logan but then I got all confused. What if they are boys? I could totally name them Dean and Logan. Even though I don't watch SPN. But that would be funny. Even funnier if they were girls!
My brain is a weird organ.

If I only had a brain...
All your twins are belong to Rick.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
The other day when the babies were in the bath together, Franny tried to tickle Isaac's tushie. So it's entirely possible that I've lost all ability to detect inappropriate sibling snugglage.
I met a woman who was having monoamniotic twins. Evidently it's not that common. She was on hospital bedrest for the last 6 weeks. Poor woman! We were in birthing class together, and all of us came to visit her after our babies were born. She was sweet.

The evil is this way?
If Fox doesn't stream "Drive," we'll be setting up a tape tree for me, right? Because I am loved? Even if I'm not cute enough to be sponsored?***
Yes, it's all about me. Why won't these multimillion-dollar organizations realize that?
They don’t know you like we do.

Tim's thread is all full of babies. So I keep thinking of It's Alive!
I think Allyson should leave work early and go straight home. Yup.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Oh man. I wish. I also wish for a spa day and for my cable and internet to be magically fixed. If wishes are being granted today, that is.

Do you have the going-straight-home part, at least?
Because you should.

I am going straight home. I may stop at Coffee Bean after I park my car. But isnt that pretty much straight home?
