In general, the whole pair thing makes me want to puke. However, all of the grandkids on my husband's side have this frog character T-shirt, in different colors, but they all have the T-shirt, and every time all of the cousins get together, they all wear the T-shirt. I almost felt left out when Sara was a baby because she didn't have one, and then last year one of the SILs bought Sara her very own frog character T-shirt, and now she is officially one of the clan. It's kind of funny and a little embarrassing when we all go out together, but at least we know which kids our ours.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01888189244158238559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533986275392579293.post-62296390623514443682011-01-22T19:02:31.831+09:002011-01-22T19:02:31.831+09:002 cousins are identical twins, and they got dresse...2 cousins are identical twins, and they got dressed up the same all the time...<br /><br />But as soon as they got old enough to choose their own clothes they dressed very differently, and have ever since.<br /><br />Identical outfits are a bit creepy, and are certainly not cute!

Personally it gives me the creeps, and the whole "pair setto" thing seems to be a consumerism-driven way of creating and reinforcing a bond that's maybe not strong enough to maintain itself.

I swore like you I would never do it, it was dumb. But then it just happened... thing is, I would find a dress or something I really liked, but how can I choose which one gets it? Or they would both want the same thing. <br /><br />They like it! They go out of their way to match, even have arguments about it (Mummy, she promised me she would match with me today, but now she's got the wrong top on!). And when No. 3 came along, well, she just had to join the party. Well, it makes it easier to spot them in malls and at festivals! <br /><br />I would never, EVER match myself to them though.

Yes, I know she is a weirdo. Yes, I get you totally hate her. Yes, I too think matching outfits are stupid and lame. BUT, she obviously loves and cares about your son in her own wacko way. She bought him a present. He is going to get lots of presents that you hate over the years. True, this is a rather creepy present since she is only his aunt, but again I doubt it will be the last creepy thing he gets. I just really don't see how or why a child having as much love and expressions of that love is in anyway a bad thing.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08050270762088395325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533986275392579293.post-85441525818625087622011-01-21T09:54:04.040+09:002011-01-21T09:54:04.040+09:00Pair setto is borderline cute/creepy with your own...Pair setto is borderline cute/creepy with your own kid, but just plain psycho with someone elses' kid.
