While the twins and their mother are thankful for the order, Aiwuyor let her girls know this would be the last time. "They were very thankful," she said. "But I told them, ‘Never again, you cannot do this again. Not every company is going to respond this way, and they will be expecting mommy and daddy to pay for whatever it is you order. So do not do this again.'"
