'I won the mother of the year award'

"Tomorrow, I have to go to the police to have my twins fingerprinted and tell me which one is which, I won the mother of the year award," Sofi Rodriguez tweeted on Thursday, March 2. She went ahead and stated in the following tweet, "Today, I can tell them apart by the vaccine, but I don't know which is which and I need to know to follow their medical records. In the photos, they look different but it is because they come from different angles or the light sets them apart, in person they are the same."

One of the twins was vaccinated twice

Sofi detailed that even the pediatricians had vaccinated one of the twins twice as it has two marks while the other baby was without any marks. "Looks like they vaccinated the same one twice," she wrote in a tweet. "I didn't even know when they were vaccinated, now the pediatrician told me that he has two marks and he would have to have one and the other baby has no marks," she added. 

'We are almost 30 years old and maybe I am him and he is me'

People were quick enough to share their experience with the identical twins as one replied, "I painted the toenail of one of mine to differentiate them. Mine are identical but for me, they are completely different." One more wrote, "With my twin brother we used a bracelet, one on the left and one on the right. The myth says that once we both dropped them and they were reversed. We are almost 30 years old and maybe I am him and he is me."

'The same thing happened to me'

One user wrote, "The same thing happened to me, I mean, not like that, ending up in the police, but it's normal. Don't fret. Anyway in this jungle, they will tell you everything. Kisses to those beautiful little boys. (the ones that are going to grow up). Another mother shared her experience by writing, "I am the mother of twins since they were born I named them according to their weight and I left them with the identification bracelets from the clinic until I changed them for silver ones engraved with their names. It worked perfectly for me and so far one weighs a little more than the other. They are 8 years old and they are 2 drops."
