With almost 26 years of being a twin under my belt, I think I have developed a pretty good sense of humor about everything twin. I used to joke around that I was the "pretty twin." Now, this is a joke because so many people have no comprehension of how to distinguish Erin and I (I have to explain this because people who do not know me well think I am actually conceited--no, I do not have the pretention to go around telling people how pretty I am). I also used to joke that my sister was the prettiest girl I know, which is funny because people think I am being so sweet, when really, I am giving myself a compliment. Funny, right?
I was at my sister's bridal shower and my mom was actually the one to bring up the pretty twin joke, exclaiming, "This is Amber, she's the pretty twin." Every laughed. Erin was not around to stand up for herself.
But, an hour or so later, one of the guests asked seriously, "Now, why is it you are the pretty twin? Is there something . . . (this is where she stumbled, trying to be politically correct about asking if she was really that ugly or if there was something actually wrong with Erin).
Sorry Erin. The truth is out about your terrible deformity. I continue to reign as the pretty twin. But don't worry, I think you might be the skinny twin, now.

It was so good seeing you last night and I'm excited to see you again on thursday with your ugly twin... j/k Love ya Erin! :)
erin has the little eyebrows... thats how i tell them apart
Erin has that little green circle between her eyes...maybe that is why she is so ugly... :)
The only reason this is funny is that you are both so identical. So, anyone that doesn't get it, doesn't know the both of you.
Well, Erin is the one that smells better.
