Finwitch:

The twins may have figured that either it IS a parchment in which 
case they can use it as such (the family is not rich, you know) and 
if it DOES hold some secret, ever better. I just doubt they actually 
*chose* anything - just crabbed what they could, that's all.

As to how they figured it out - well, maybe the map assisted them..

They needed to identify themselves before getting any response, once 
they did, perhaps the map then gave instructions instead of insults.
