When you guys say ‘soda’ do you mean fizzy water you have with whiskey or a sweet fizzy drink?

‘Snap’ comes from the card game in our house. Don’t play with the Twins, they play dirty.

‘Nurse’ is another funny one. In AUS it means to hold a baby, not feed it.

Yeah, that’s what S says too. I’ll bet she doesn’t even know where that comes from. But I do.

I’ll buy a soda for the first person who correctly answers the question, “Where does ‘Jinx, buy me a soda’ come from?”

These are adorable!

….we use ‘jinx’ too – but (in my house anyway), jinx is reserved for saying the same thing at the same time. And like MC, we say ‘no return’ – but the person then can’t speak until someone says their name three times.

@vothgirl I thought you just hung out sideways most of the time!

They really do say the best things!

My latest favorite:

me scooping up my four year old for a cuddle: “I’ve been waiting all night for this good-morning hug!”

my four year old squeezing tight and whispering in my ear: “I’ve been waiting all night for you to give me a chocolate doughnut.”

Needless to say…he was allowed his doughnut before his eggs.

How timely! Jinx is big at my house right now with my 2nd grader (that and spelling out all conversation by letters…but I digress). My SoCal hubby grew up with “jinx, buy me a soda” I grew up with “jinx, no return” where the person that didn’t say “jinx” fast enough couldn’t speak again until someone said their name.

Fun thread, Sarvi.

Such a great look for twins when you don’t want them too matchy matchy — that shape ties the looks together but each is so distinct.

Haha, I love when they get that serious voice. Love these cute stories, kids are the best!
