Sofie Rodriguez, from Argentina, posted a confession on Twitter last month, saying she could no longer tell her twins apart. Instead of going back to the hospital to find out which twin was which, she called 911 for assistance.
"Tomorrow, I have to go to the police station so they can take my twins' fingerprints and tell me which one is which. I win the award for Mother of the Year," she added in her confession.

She says she hoped the police would help her identify the twins by taking their fingerprints, but they couldn't tell from their fingerprints either, and neither could doctors. "We took their fingerprints, but they don't appear in the system. We still don't know who is who," she said. She also added that the doctors may have vaccinated one of the twins twice by mistake.
Sofie finally enlisted the help of a government agency and received assistance, and got the ribbon back on again. She says she's never taking it off.
