- Our next guest sparked quite a debate
when their mother insisted on having them dress alike.
This one had everyone, but me, asking, is this normal?
Take a look.
- My mom has four kids, and she's been dressing us
all alike since we were babies.
- Oh, y'all quadruplets?
- No, 30, 27, 17, 15,
but it's not just us she dresses alike.
She matches with us, too.
It's all our photos, me and my sister look like twins, like,
so anyways (laughing), it's holidays, it's the Steve Show.
Is this normal, Steve, or does this need to stop?
Like, people think we're--
- Does this sound normal to you?
(audience laughing)
- I mean-- - No, I mean, I mean.
No, I mean listen to me.
- Steve, she's so happy like.
(audience laughing and clapping)
- When you were saying it, did it sound normal?
Well everybody, please welcome back Tanisha
and her family.
(audience clapping and cheering)
Now Tanisha, remind everybody how long
your mother had y'all wearing matching outfits?
- I can remember seeing photos of her
being pregnant with me,
with my older sister and her dressed alike.
And then it was me and my sister.
It's been going on forever,
it's been going on too long, Steve.
- I'm kinda curious, where y'all get these outfits from?
(audience laughing)
- Okay so first we used to go get matching outfits,
then I started learning how to sew,
and then ever since then it's been over.
Like we go down town and she like,
"We gon' get the whole roll, you gon' make--
"You know how to do it, we might as well just--"
- So mom, what made you start doing this?
- So, I had my first baby when I was 18
and that was like my first baby doll.
And then I got pregnant with Tanisha
and when I got pregnant with Tanisha,
the identical twin session started.
It's my, I now know, it's an obsession that I had.
- Oh okay.
Let me talk to the man of the family.
Jacques, what's this like for you and Gabriel,
being that you the only guys in the family?
- I think I really like it, I really do.
It's a real fun experience, you know,
dressing like my mom's is, it's kinda weird,
but I like it.
- He like it because he get a new outfit and shoes
every time, that's the only reason why he like it.
(laughing)
(audience clapping)
- All right, let me ask you this.
Out of all of you, which one of you
had the most opposition to this?
- That would be me Steve.
- [Steve] You're the oldest?
- I'm the oldest, I'm Rajanique, I'm the oldest.
- This the one that moved away.
(talking over one another)
- Oh you ran away?
You couldn't do it no more?
- I couldn't do it anymore.
I look back on pictures, me and my mom,
we're dressed alike, we're still dressing alike.
I love my mom and so that's why I really do it.
And all that she's done for us,
this is only a small thing that we can do for her
compared to all the things that she's done for us.
(audience clapping)
But I do pray to God that she takes your advice.
- And I promise to keep making you stuff,
we just don't wanna coordinate it like--
- [Jacques] It's okay, it won't be hap--
(talking over one another)
- [Steve] Y'all look like a singing group right there.
(guests laughing)
Ladies and gentlemen, The Silvers.
(guests laughing)
Mom, like I told you when you were here,
you're an amazing mother and that's why your kids do it.
But you had some time to think about it,
did you take my advice?
- I am taking your advice
and the last picture that were gonna take,
or that we did take is for mother's day.
And I'm gonna let the kids grow.
And I am handing the torch over to them.
The only way we'll dress up is if the kids wanna dress up.
I'm had it.
(audience clapping)
- [Steve] Let's see y'all's last family picture.
- [Audience] Aww.
(audience clapping)
- Well that's good.
I enjoyed y'all, thank y'all for coming.
Wish you the best, we'll be right back everybody.
(audience clapping and cheering)
(upbeat music)
