My (27F) husband (26M) is an identical twin. To the untrained eye, they look pretty similar. But to the family, they are clearly different people. Or so I thought...

Last year, their older brother got himself and the twins matching onesies with hoods. When we were packing for the trip to the in-laws for Christmas, my husband packed his onesie.

Friday night, a few of us (my mother in law, my husband's twin's wife, and I) were sitting in the living room. Both twins and the older brother were not around.

So I'm just on my phone, when I hear someone come around the corner into the living room. I looked up and see my husband wearing his onesie. My MIL makes a comment about how these onesies are great and they made her year last year.

Husband passes through the living room and goes right past me into the dining room which is behind me. On the way through, I decided to poke his butt. I would have slapped it had my MIL not been sitting directly across me and would have seen it.

Maybe 10 seconds pass, and my MIL says "uh, are you sure that was the right husband?".

My heart instantly drops. I turn around and see two people behind me in the dining room. The twin in the onesie, and my husband sitting at the table on his laptop.

I had just poked my brother in law's butt.

I was pretty much MORTIFIED. Everyone, including me, was laughing so hard we were crying. I was probably beet red from embarrassment. I SWEAR that I saw my husband's face when the twin walked into the living room. I didn't even think twice because I knew my husband brought his onesie.

It was hilarious to look back on, but I think about what I could/would have done if my MIL wasn't in the room. Like I could have slapped his butt, or something even more inappropriate to do to your brother in law. All is well, at least it'll be a memorable Christmas.

TL;DR I accidentally poked my brother in law's butt instead of my husband's because they're twins.

I know that by poke, you mean you poked his ass checks and it was probably gentle. But my mind won’t let go of the image you jamming a finger up his asshole and yelling “Gotcha!”

Hahahahaha, yes, it was a cheek poke.

Can we have an idea of the other moves in your repertoire?

Just wondering what kinda scarring could've been had by BIL if his mom wasn't around.

Full cheek grab or slap for sure.

I was sitting so I was limited on options as well.

Yeah, definitely more mortifying

With the festive season it probably would've gone down without too much awkwardness and just added to the hilarity.

Life's too short.

Facepalms are like a high 5 for the face :')

It’s also hilarious that the brother-in-law didn’t say anything...like he just accepted it and liked it!

My MIL said he kind of made a "huh??" face but I couldn't see it.

My fiancé grabbed a random girl at the bar one night thinking it was me. Literally between the legs and scooped her up to have her turn and obviously be very upset. He immediately started apologizing and came running to find me about 5 feet away seated at the bar. He was pale white and said ‘I did something bad!’ He proceeded to tell me what happened and then pointed her out - she was in almost the exact same outfit, boots and all, and from behind would be very hard to tell the difference between us due to dim lighting (she’s redhead and I’m very blonde). Poor guy was mortified! I ended up going up to her and apologizing on his behalf and explaining the situation- ironically we all became friends after this as she knew other members of our group. And that’s how my fiancé narrowly avoided SA charges 😂

I’ve done something similar with my wife’s sister and they aren’t even twins. They just look a lot alike when I don’t have my glasses on.

Haha, oh man. I don't feel so bad then.

Haha you shouldn’t. I would’ve done the same thing in your shoes. It’s an honest mistake and everyone had a good laugh.

I was reading this and thought you gonna say „I would’ve done the same with glasses“ kinda disappointed now but I’m happy for your wife and her sister.

Haha I’m a degenerate, but not that much of one! My wife would chop of my balls if I ever did anything like that.

Haaa! Omg! Did you push up on it!?

Haha nah it was more of a light pat, thankfully. There was no pushing involved.

Suuuuuure the old "I don't see so well without my glasses" defense. Let us continue the denial & have you explain what is "something similar"

Haha you joke, but I am actually pretty much blind without my glasses. Legally so in one eye. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

Was this a poke at the butt cheek or poking the butthole?

I was really hoping for something involving prostate massage gone wrong.

yep. me, SIL. Similar situation. Lucky for me, wife and sis in law are aware of their similarity in height and build, and they have now agreed not to wear similar outfits.
