Playing the Twins Card

There are many upsides to having twins. But one of the more unexpected has been the special treatment we receive in public. Facing a long line at the grocery with fussy babies, no problem as we're escorted to a newly opened register. Looking to pickup dinner with Lucie and Ryan in tow, our order is cooked first.

And today, on our way back from looking for cribs at Babies R Us, we got a flat tire. After not-so-discretely mentioning that I had 4 month old twins in the car, AAA shows up in less than 20 minutes and had us up and running five minutes later. And while some may question the manliness of calling AAA for a simple tire change, consider that I had Megan breastfeeding Lucie in the front seat, Ryan screaming, and absolutely no idea how to deal with Volkswagen's custom lug nut lock.
