Hahaha, based on this, Billy when he's irritated amuses me too! Oh Billy. Love it.

He gets SO BAROQUE when he's pissed. Oh, Billy. *ruffles him* He gets that from his dad.

Thanks very much!

Yuyan and Mengli would get along so well with Billy and Molly. Probably respectively. Twins deal with so much crap, I tell you.

Thank you very much!

I have twin brothers, twin uncles, and twin cousins and all of them would thank you wholeheartedly for writing this! They're all identical though, but except for the dizygotic part, they still come across the majority of these issues. Billy's righteous anger was hilariously perfect. Nice one! :)

Haha, yeah, twins get so much crap and weird questions. Here's hoping this stops at least one set from dealing with obvious questions. XD Billy's righteous anger was SO MUCH FUN to write, let me tell you internets.

Thanks for reading!

HA. Billy IS fun when he's irritated. I love the deliberate formal register, it works so well here with the point he's trying to make, and it's so obvious what his mood is without him ever saying so.

He gets so baroque when he's irritated. His dad does the same thing. Excessively formal diction and syntax tend to make it very clear that you're annoyed. :D

Thanks very much!

I like this guy--he sure knows how to say what he means. I think his feelings are very realistic as well.

I know a bunch of twin sets, and this is basically a rundown of all the complaints I've heard from them over the years. Especially the ESP thing. That really pisses them off. Thank you very much!
