Is neither an option?

Some funny stories....

When I was in Denver last week I went out with all my closest girlfriends.  I had one beer and then right before going to the dance floor I decided I needed to go the bathroom.  I had never been to that particular bar and I didn't closely look at the signs, I just chose the bathroom to the right.  When I walked in there was a GUY at the sink washing his hands.  I turned beet red, did a 180 and turned to walk out just as another GUY was walking in.  My girlfriends were all laughing at me as I managed to get out of the men's bathroom.  I guess I ignored the TWO signs for the bathroom.  The little stick man definitely wasn't wearing a skirt and the W was definitely an M.

At the airport when we arrived back home an older woman came up to me to tell me how cute the kids were.  I was tired and ready to be done, so when she asked if they were twins I thought the easiest answer would be yes (it often is).  Boy was I wrong! 

I tell her yes and she says, 'How exciting!  Here are my twins...although they are grown women now!'  Oh, dear, these women are identical twins and here I am claiming my non-twins are twins.  She proceeds to ask me if I knew I was having twins.  I think to myself, nope, definitely did not know I was having twins especially since I only pushed one of the babies out of me!!  I tell her no and she tells me she didn't know either and then says 'it's quite a surprise isn't it?!?'....uh, yes, yes it is quite a surprise. 

She asks where Charlotte gets her beautiful hair from and I say that it reminds me of daddy's hair since it's dark and wavy...um, there is no way she actually got his hair!  Lesson learned:  Maybe my easy answer of 'yes they're twins' isn't as easy as I originally thought.

Over the weekend I was asked if the kids were identical or fraternal twins.  A million things came to mind as a response:

Laughter - I somehow managed not to make the person asking feel like a complete idiot by answering the question with laughter.

Identical except she has girl parts and he has boy parts - again I managed to hold in my snarky comment to avoid making the person feel like an idiot.

Actually they're virtual twins - this would have required a lot more explanation that I didn't feel like giving

Is neither an option? - this is what I really thought, but didn't say because I didn't want to make the person feel like an idiot for asking the question.

Q:  Are they identical or fraternal?  My A:  Yes.  I think that worked because she seemed satisfied and I could just keep going.
