A little pick-me-up before you go. |
A sleep-deprived Nicole Giamundo and her husband, Jordon Smith, were holding their identical twins Adalynn and Nora after their birth in 2014 when an unsettling thought hit them. "Who do you have?" Giamundo said she asked Smith. "And he's like, 'I don't know. Who do you have?' And then we kind of just stood there for a second." Whoops! To this day, they're still not sure if they mixed up the twins, which they explained to their now-10-year-old girls in a series of viral TikTok videos. In vintage tween fashion, they took the news in stride. "Thank God," Nora responded. "I didn't want to be named Addie." See the story of their mix-up here. |
