Yesterday a woman was walking behind me as I walked into the store. I had Marie holding one hand and Peter holding the other. As I was putting them in the shopping car she said, "So, are they twins or Irish twins?"
I had no idea what she was talking about, but just said, "They're twins."
She informed me that it didn't matter, because they were still cute.
So, what are Irish Twins? Thank heavens for google who helped me out with that one.
The next question is, wouldn't that be considered a slightly tacky question or I am just sensitive?

Yes, I think that is a slightly tacky question.
Well, I can see how she might think that, given that Peter is so much bigger than Marie. At least she didn't think Audrey and Peter were the twins...
that's interesting. i've never heard of irish twins before, but you see it every now and then, two siblings who are less than a year apart. I wouldn't take offense, b/c i wouldn't have known what it was:) but they are cute!
