If they're fraternal, it isn't karma, it's genetics. Fraternal twins
run
in families.

Not always. ;)

Mary--mom of fraternal twin girls (who were conceived in a non-genetic
way)


conceived in a non-genetic way? what, made out of spare parts or
tinkertoys?

LOL. Poorly worded. I meant to say "who were not the result of genetics
(i.e., twins don't run in my family)." My point was that not all fraternal
twins run in families. When each of my twins grows up and tells people that
she's a twin and that she has two sets of twin cousins, people will
naturally assume that twins run in her family--which isn't the case.

Mary


my mother has a twin brother. but my sister has no kids, so i can't
say if they run in the family or not.
