Okay, there’s nowhere else for this to go, certainly not in this thread:

> [@Desperate mom of twins calls police when she can't tell them apart](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/desperate-mom-of-twins-calls-police-when-she-cant-tell-them-apart/981141):
>
> as someone who knew twins that identical until they had kids themselves, I can totally relate (I’m not sure but I might have made out with both of them one night because after a bottle of md 2020 I was more confused than usual and no they’ve never told me yes or no I just get a smile and asked … well if you liked it why complain?) Although she called the national identification registry and not an actual police station

But every time I see that post title, I can’t help but mentally finish with, “And the police helpfully shot one of them.”
