One of my many jobs out here in the Suburbs is the never ending carpool.
To swimming, gymnastics, choir, track or even birthday parties it seems like I'm always hauling a load of wee ones to some incredibly important social event.
One of the wonderful things about being the invisible driver in the front seat? The conversations overheard between groups of 7-10 year old girls...
Hey we have new twins at our school. Their Mom was mad because they were put in different classes.
Did you know there are two different types of twins??
Yep. Fraternal and Nocturnal.
These two were fraternal because they are a boy and a girl.
Hmm...wonder what a nocturnal twin is?

Ones that think playtime is after the sun goes down. Sounds painful.
I love that - maybe the nocturnal twin is a vampire??
Actually got a quote today that ties in with your post perfectly:
“A suburban mother’s role is to deliver children obstetrically once, and by car forever after.”
―Peter De Vries
Haha... love it! The things you here, huh?
And if I were the mom of the twins, I'd be mad too! I'd want my twins together! I'm just overly emotional lately, actually, with my son starting school on Monday... ;(
Haha. That's priceless. Your mom stories are the best!
LOL - that is too funny.
Ha! so funny.... and yea! i bet you do get an earfull!!
Nocturnal? Hmmm... that would be a tough one... LOL!
Nocturnal twins are defined as twins born between the hours of 12 am and 3 am. ;)
that is so funny. Of course the nocturnal twins stay up all night long.
Oh, I have learned so much on my trips to and fro!
That is SO funny! My son says, "We got two new twins..."
Nocturnal twin....LOL!
Sounds like the convos my students have everyday...oh how they make you laugh!
I love what I hear in the car! :)
That's so cute!
Hahaha, nocturnal twin...I'll have to share that with my hubby (he's a twin). ;-)
Priceless... kids just say the funniest things!
Love it! I sneak up to the door and listen to my boys talk after they've been put in bed. So sweet, funny, and cute!
