Identical twins are known for having a strong bond and oftentimes can be inseparable. But while they’re viewed as being thick as thieves, it doesn’t mean they can’t have a little tiff sometimes!

The two babies in the video below know just what it’s like to “fight” with their twin. In their case, it’s over a purple pacifier.

When you think of twins, usually you think “two of everything.” Two cribs, two car seats, two strollers – but for these babies, they both want the same pacifier.

They’re hanging out on the carpet and one of the girls has it in her mouth. The other twin is looking at her sister and perhaps thinking – “Hey… Why should you get to have the binky?

But as we know it’s not like she can just “ask” for it. So, she reaches out and simply snatches it for herself instead.

We all have our favorite things that give us comfort and joy. For a lot of babies, they like their bottles, their blankies, and their pacifiers.

Since none of us want our stuff taken away – it’s understandable that the little peanut in the video gets upset having her binky stolen. She tries to grab it back and cries when she can’t get it.

But of course, two can play at this game. Eventually, she’s able to take it from her sister’s mouth to make things whole again. She puts it back in hers, and life is good…at least for the moment.

This is a game that’s just getting started.

The twin on the right can’t hold in the tears being pacifier-less and watching her sister enjoy the purple binky. So naturally, she decides to try and get it back! (Let’s hope when they get older they don’t fight like this over clothes and boyfriends.)

After a few tries, the girl is finally successful swiping it back from the twin on the left. As you would guess though, it leads to a lot more unhappiness and tears.

Babies find comfort with their pacifiers, and according to the Happiest Baby website, “sucking” can lower their stress levels, blood pressure, and heart rate.

With how soothing pacifiers can be, it’s no wonder why these little ladies really wanted one! And if there was just a sole purple binky around – perhaps that’s what drove them into “fighting” over it.

The baby on the left decides to go for it once again and steal the pacifier from her sister. Once she does, she’s instantly soothed with it in her mouth.

Like clockwork, the baby on the right starts to cry, but her tears aren’t enough for her sister to fork over the binky! Then when she tries to get it back, her twin turns her head. Nope – you’re not getting it this time around.

Although there are no real winners in something like this – the clip ends with the baby on the left still sucking on the pacifier. Oh, sisters!
