I've got to tell someone and no one here really knows who I am, so "tag" DU is it.
I am the proud grandfather of the cutest, smartest two and a half year old in the history of humankind. I've just learned he is to be the big brother - of twins!
As of yet, I am forbidden to tell anyone, so keep it on the down-low.

and I have a nephew who is the father of twins. The parents are in for a helluva ride. Congratulations.
It's clear my one son will never reproduce, and so I'm a bit jealous. But only a tiny bit.
I've often had trouble telling fraternal twins apart, although it helps if one is a boy and the other a girl. Identical twins, forget it! It's probably a very good thing I didn't have twins myself, because I'd still be asking, "So which one are you now?"
You are going to have the most fabulous experience as grandparent of these twins.
Your grand children will provide much joy in the coming years. CONGRATULATIONS to all of you! 
I thought I was the only one to endure the torture. Identical twin sisters 4 years younger than me. I went from the cutest, smartest to non existent after they were born. Friends and family would come over and after 15 minutes of "they're so cute" crap somebody might walk by me, pinch my cheek, smile no words, then turn and say "ahh, Moe and Curly your so cute", more cute crap. That's the dogs names! I was forgotten about. Holiday pictures went from me front and center to the back row where all you could see was a cowlick of my hair sticking up that blended in with the Xmas tree. I had become an undecorated branch! I ran away from home when I was 10. The twins left the gate open and Moe and Curly got out. That's when everyone realized I was gone! "Hey, where's what's his name?" It was 2 days! I would get grounded for saying things to them like "which one are you?" or I'd tell my mom they switched names again. I'm scarred to this day! I was an illegal immigrant in my own family! I don't think relatives and friends of the family even knew I flew the nest until I got out of college!
Disclaimer: I'm joking on most of that lol. I love my sisters, they deserved all the attention they got and have grown to become amazing individuals, wonderful mothers and we are all the best of friends besides siblings. We always call ourselves the 3 twins lol. We all speak to each other across the many miles at least once a week. I was always big bubby, and am still very protective of them and luckily they are very protective of me. Trust me thats an advantage. Growing up with identical twin siblings can kinda be like living in a Marvel comic at times lol. I just had to share because it really is a rare, and awesome experience and your post brought up some great memories. Congratulations TomSlick (btw my favorite childhood CARtoon). That young man, and yourself, are in for some adventure. Wishing good health to all of you 
Kidding, kidding, Congrats! LOL, my guy is sixteen this summer and mysteriously sprouted shoulders like a linebacker, just like his Grandpa had. You are in for soooooo much fun!
lol (kidding)
One of our maried couple friends had a child subsequently had 2 sets of twins. The dad liked to joke that they didn't know what they were doing the first time 
Congratulations and best wishes to the parents
