More things that should come in twos: Bookends and contact lenses should come in twos. Airline tickets to the Bahamas should come in twos. Despite what I believed between the ages of 18 and 23, earrings should come in twos. Monopoly dice, chopsticks, and Noah's ark collectible figurines should come in twos. Olives in a martini should come in twos--and often at that. Extra-strength Advil should most definitely come in twos. And there should always be two straws in a milkshake.
Babies should still not come in twos.
Would you prefer threes?

Don't forget Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Those should always come in twos, too.

Reese's should come in 4 packs and guilt free.

Fear not. Reeses were in the original list of things that should come in twos. Look in the August archives.

Some days I only survive by chanting "at least they aren't three, at least there aren't three..."

Once upon I time, just "everyone" said I was having twins. This was pre-ultrasound, before getting an accurate head-count in advance was possible. Twins were in the family, and I went from being built like a garden rake to looking more like a VW Bug. We all were sure. It turned out to be #2 child, hyperactive to the max. I remember looking longingly at the playpen as a place where perhaps I could hide!! He literally scaled up the walls, once left home at 5am clad only in a diaper. For years, I mumbled, "Thank God he wasn't twins!"

Yes....many days I have thanked God that it was not triplets. That's the only way I can get through some days with my 3 y/o twin boys.
