Double Take When Ordering A Double-Double

For a few years during and after high school, I was in the unique position of working in a local fast-food place along with my twin. One of us worked front, and one would work in the kitchen, so most regular customers wouldn’t notice, until one time…

Twin: *Walking past me.* “I’m taking a break. Want me to bring you anything from the car?”

Me: *Working the order counter.* “I’m good, thanks!”

Customer: “Oh my God! You’re twins?!”

Me: “Ha ha, yeah. Kinda fun that we both work here.”

Customer: “How long have you been twins?”

Me: “Uh… all my life?”

The customer blinks, realizes what was said, and laughs. She meant to ask how long we had both been working here together, but it came out wrong.
