Twin Speak

 It's true, twins do have their own language! Matthew and Stephen are fraternal twins, which means they are two completely different people that don't look alike. They are absolutely hilarious together because they feed off each other. They also understand each other and have created their own language.

The first thing Matthew says in the video is "DA-BA". That is their word for each other. Stephen calls Matthew "da ba" and vice versa. I didn't pick up on their complete language, but I learned the important ones.

Blanket: GAGA
Food: NUM NUMS
For example,  I hand Stephen two popsicles, one for himself and one for Matthew, and he says: "my num nums, and da ba's num nums".
When we arrived we introduced ourselves: "Hello twins! This is Katie and Jacob". They immediately called us "Teetee" and "Bubba". I would get told "no, Bubba do it" quite frequently. I think he won them over with treats early. So much for favorite aunt. 

These two also coordinate well. One day they went upstairs and after about 10 minutes I realized it was too quiet. I ran up to find the twins holding colored pencils and markers. Oh no. At first I didn't see anything, but I slowly walked around to find they had colored on the walls of three different rooms. SO MUCH DESTRUCTION IN 10 MINUTES? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!?!

(Did I mention my sister is a very organized and clean person?)

Yeah, I was about to break down. I called my mom and she told me to use Windex. It works. Thank goodness.
