I’m a teacher – I ‘needed to be convinced not to call CPS’ after twins in my class had almost identical names
A SUBSTITUTE teacher has joked they had to be convinced not to call Child Protective Services after encountering identical twins with nearly the same name.
The teacher claimed in a Reddit post that the siblings were put in the same classroom with them.
"I’m a substitute teacher and currently working in a room with identical twins named Selene and Selina," they alleged in .
They then urged their fellow teachers in the thread to convince them not to call Child Protective Services (CPS), as they felt this situation was "ridiculous."
"Please convince me to not call CPS. /s 😂 ," the teacher joked.
"Anyone else ever come across an equally ridiculous sib set?"
Additionally, they made sure to note that a friend of theirs supposedly knows twins named Mary and Marie.
The nearly identical names certainly don't assist in differentiating the nearly identical children.
Other Redditors quickly empathized with the teacher.
Many noted their own stories of when they had a difficult time telling twins apart.
