Malaysian mum hilariously struggles to tell twin sons apart

In a screenshot of the conversation shared by the mother, the teacher explained that they needed to identify the twins so they could place the correct names under Hilmi and Hilman’s graduation photos.

Unable to tell the identical twins apart herself, the mother had no choice but to ask her husband to help.

“I hit my lowest point today when the teacher asked me something and I couldn’t tell which one was Hilmi and which one was Hilman. I had to ask my husband to sort it out,” she wrote.

Meanwhile, netizens had a field day in the comments, with many trying to guess which twin was which. One commenter confidently wrote:

“As someone who has nothing to do with your family, my guess is Hilman is on the right and Hilmi is on the left. That’s my final answer, sis.”

The mother later confirmed that the commenter had guessed correctly.

“I think both of them are Hilmi. Hilman doesn’t want to take photos, so Hilmi ended up being both of them.”

“If I were the mother, I’d probably just tell the teacher to put whichever name they want. I’d be too tired to think about it for too long.”
