if two twin women have twin boyfrends an then they have kids, and the kids r both girls of both boys, Would the kids be twins as the genetics are both identical? Although they have differnt Parents, thiere genetics are the same so they must be twins right?

Whaaaaa?!?!?!?! You must be kidding or in 3rd grade.
How in the world do you think their genetic make up would be the same??????

Wrong.
pretty nice thinkng.. and good food for thought..
but get this, assuming that you have elementary knowledge that easch indvidual has two alleles (genes for same character).
Now, let boy1 and boy2 have exactly same genes...
and for a character they both have two alleles, C1 and C2.
(Both are twins, i.e. why they have same C1 and C2)
Now there respctive children can on have allele C1 and Son of other boy may be of C2. (taht depends on which sperms fertilises the ova)
Again, using same logic to the female cell also,
It will be very less likely( and not at all a must)
for their children to be twins.
Hope you get all that.
as it seems to be confusing but the kind of things you think i think you will get this.

Their genetics would not be the same. The recombination and assortment of genes which occurs ensures that they would be different. Otherwise, by the same logic, all brothers and sisters would have the same genetics, since they have identical parents.

yes they have something to do with genetics.sometimes it can happen by interval of generations.for example, 1st generation have twins 2nd doesn't have then 3rd have it and so on...
