And yes, really can't distinguish baby features.
Although... when the twins were little, they did look different as far as siblings can look different. One had a massive forehead, dark hair, and grey eyes, and the other had red hair and blue eyes and people would ask all the time: 'Oh! Twins! Are they identical?'
Maybe they were like
"Are they identical? Cuz they don't look identical!"

I was having my car looked at / fixed this afternoon, and while the guys were working on it I walked over to McDonald's. The tables and chairs at this place were like 3 and a half feet off the ground, really damn high. A family is sitting at a table nearby, and they have this toddler sitting up on one of those chairs. I didn't bother looking in detail, I assumed he was somehow secured in place. I hear the lady gasp, and there's a clap sound against the ground. The kid was laying against the floor on his head and one shoulder, his foot barely reaching up to where he was previously sitting. He's freaking the hell out, that kind of crying where you can't breathe, and the lady is saying, "Why were you leaning over?!"
I don't think she'll be in the running for the Mother of the Year award.

I guess I didn't think of it this way! We assumed people would just automatically assume no.
Sheesh.
Fuck I hate bad parents, so goddamn much. And I see it a lot since I live in the south.

To their credit this kid looked pretty healthy.
Well, except for the fucking brain-damage he incurred.

Kids are bouncy for a reason. They'e stupid and do stupid shit.

Ya, kids are fairly tough.
And some of them know how to take advantage of the waterworks.
I dont like spiders if theyre on me.
I don't have anything that I can think of that would really be considered a straight up fear though. I'm totally a space marine
The looks on their faces is the best.
Satans..... hints..... I'm a mo bro!
I hate you.
I'm kidding but my brother and I got that question all the time. It's a little silly.
Just a flow-on from my fear of holding babies, but I'm also constantly on edge whenever I'm around a young child who is playing near anything that could hurt them seriously.
Like I'll be talking to someone and some kid is stumbling around in the background near the edge of a raised platform or something. My mind automatically locks onto that and diverts like 90% of my attention to having a silent panic attack every time they go anywhere near the edge. Sometimes I can't stop myself and I'll be involuntarily spasming slightly in anticipation of having to launch myself across the room to catch them.
And to the person I'm talking to it must look like I have Parkinsons or something.

I still have a driver's license and drive when i have to, but it's terrifying to me. I have the same reaction when i'm a passenger and merging is going on, or it's really snowy/icy.
Also very mildly afraid of:
spiders,
heights,
the ocean,
having a random pain and it lasting the rest of my life,
medical problems that could develop that we won't be able to pay for (thanks, america!)
I just hate them.
I didn't drive/get my license until I was 23 because I was scared shitless of driving.

Bugs in general bother me, but it's the tiny things that travel en masse that really get me, and the sight of them in the right situation just freaks me the fuck out.
Like a while back when ants had apparently found a path into the trash can in my bedroom, and in the process came across me and I literally had ants in my pants. That was not fun.
I actually could not bring myself to go back into my room for a while after that. Just the thougth of them crawling around my floor, ugh.
For this reason, I actually am highly tolerant of spiders, and make no effort to remove them from my room when I find them (assuming they're up in corners and out of the way). Why? Because they eat all the other bugs.
Well I guess dung beetles are okay with it.
she is the most important person in my life (raised me when my mum died) and she is in her late 80s and my grandad who was married to her for over 60 years died this spring and ughghgh i tear up just thinking about it
yaaay

I used to be a lifeguard, even though sometimes it was just for those smallish outdoor wading pools open over the summer months in parks. One time this mother put her 1-year-old in the pool and just walked away to go chat with other moms. The kid sat there for a minute or so before tipping over below the surface, unable to right himself. So I bound in and pick him up, he starts crying (obviously, now that he can breathe again), and she comes barreling at me, screaming at me that I didn't save him fast enough, that he might be permanently injured, that's it my job to keep him safe, blah blah blah. It's the first and only time I literally told a patron to shut the fuck up before threatening to call child protective services. I tore into her for being a terrible fucking mother and gave her the names of a few nearby, unguarded rivers, so if she really wanted to drown her own child she shouldn't run into any problems with one of those. I also felt like a villain giving the poor kid back to her.
There was another set of parents that same summer who had the saddest, fattest 5-year-old I've ever seen. He was as close to a perfect sphere as a human being can get. They had to bring a step-stool with them to the park to get him on and off the nearby swings. When he sat in the pool, other kids would run around him like an obstacle in a relay race. I felt so bad for him, because it wasn't his fault at all. I imagine he's probably being an equally unhappy 15-year-old around now.
My best friend is scared of bugs and finds them distracting if a bug is flying around in class.
Sorry BB.
me and my sister get this
i am eight and a half inches taller than her and 60 pounds heavier
she is a pixie
so obviously i tell them yes, we are identical
I would've had the same reaction. Was she like a bubbleheaded young mother or a yenta or what?
One of my cousins was like that years ago. Poor kid was being fattened up, but he LOVED to eat. My step-mother was the only one aside from me trying to prompt my dad to talk to the mom about that because wow, that kid couldn't run five feet without huffin' and puffin'.

dang. she definitely sounds like a tough gramma!
hoping she sticks around a while longer
I'm afraid I'll never meet anybody I want to spend the rest of my life with.
I used to have a fear of falling from heights, specifically having a repeating dream as a child where I'd step on a very plain carpet at the bottom of the stairs in my house and it was actually covering up a bottomless pit and I'd fall forever and ever and ever. I mostly got myself over it because of all the flying I've had to do for work and just because it bothered me for so long that it became more annoying then frightening.
