It's quite an experience walking around town with the twins. I feel like quite the King of Kensington, being swarmed with well-wishers, feeling like everyone knows us already. We went to the very busy farmers' market yesterday and couldn't walk two feet without stopping to chat with passersby. I thought this was maybe a smalltown phenomenen, but the same thing happens when we go to Sick Kids in Toronto. It's a childrens' hospital - you would think people would be used to seeing babies, but everyone goes gaga for our little guys.
There is a definite gender divide on reactions though:
Women are fascinated by the little ones: how old are they, boys or girls, how adorable, oh you're so lucky, what are their names, do you have twins in your family, are you getting any sleep?
The men are impressed with the stroller: nice wheels, how does it handle, sweet ride, righteous vehicle, what's the pickup like?
