At the time Bobby and Riley George were born 30 minutes apart with light
skin, curly hair and brown eyes there was no doubting they were twins but 6
weeks later, both boys' appearances started to change
differently, with Bobby now having light skin and blue eyes and Riley brown
eyes and dark skin.
When
they first found out that
Miss Tongue was expecting twins, doctors said there
was a one-in-a-million chance that the babies, created by two separate eggs,
would have a different skin tone.
And
when they were born in October 2011 at West Middlesex University Hospital in
Isleworth, West London, they virtually looked very identical.
A the time Bobby and Riley George were born 30 minutes apart with light skin,
curly hair and brown eyes there was no doubting they were twins.
But
four years on, the boys couldn't be different as Bobby has blue eyes and a
light complexion while Riley's skin and hair is dark like his father's.
These
twins, from Feltham, West London, were born to their mother Abigail Tongue, 22,
who is white and father Richard George, 26, who is of mixed race. Their
personalities also developed differently with Bobby becoming very independent
and active and Riley more laid-back and clingy.
Mr
George saying that: 'When she was
pregnant we'd joke how one could be black like me and another white like Abbie
but we never thought it would happen.' But
despite their adorable appearance, the boys' mother Miss Tongue says she has
had strange looks in the street and people asking if she is just babysitting
Riley or if Mr George is actually their father.
Even
two years ago when Bobby broke his leg, staff at the West Middlesex Hospital
did not believe the boys were twins and checked Miss Tongue's medical records
to be sure.
She
also told the newspaper: 'I couldn't believe I had two different coloured
babies.
'It's
so uncomfortable and awkward because they are insinuating I've had an affair.
It can be quite upsetting, people not believing your child is yours.'
The
couple also have a 17-month-old daughter called Amelia whose complexion is a
combination of both of her parents.
Miss
Tongue saying that: 'We're a special family, our two boys show that. The
doctors said they're one in a million - and I agree.
Abeg gossipers what hope what am thinking is not true?? #Lol
