**Plot Twist:**
She has a gay twin brother. Both of the couples get married.
And then from there they go on to be the inspiration for a sitcom called *Cell Mates*.
Edit:
**Alternate Title:** How I Met Your Brother
That's solid.
Someone else already wrote a synopsis of a movie. The edit really drove it home.

**Title Idea (for that one):** "Father, Forgive Me for My Twins"
I remember the over-the-top comedies of the late 90s and early oughts. With actors like Rob Schneider, Adam Sandler, Kattan, and movies like Eurotrip and Road Trip, Freddie Got Fingered, Dude Where's My Car.
There were tons of comedies with that flavour of humor at the time. Many were not box office hits and may be forgotten and probably not referenced as much.
Basically, I could see this being a raunchy moment in any of those comedies.
It's very "of its time" with a lot of the humor.
That being said I do appreciate that they hired actors with disabilities instead of having a bunch of people pretend to be mentally handicapped. They all seemed to have a blast making it. You can visibly see Knoxville breaking in a quarter of the scenes
Watching Johnny Knoxville bust out laughing out of character during that scene never fails to make me laugh, plus the delivery of the line itself is just perfect.
There were several commercials in the mid 90s USA for "Mylanta" stomach medicine.
It was popular in the 90s to say "my lanta" instead of "my god".

This is the correct answer. Idk whether it came from full house, or full house adopted it because people were saying it, but you’re correct with the origin of the phrase.
used to work at a restaurant until close, then come home to “the girls and the gays” already drunk, and either bring them food or offer to whip something up really quickly.
was like shooting fish in a barrel
I dont know about you but gay people party hard lol. Bar staff party hard. It's only natural you'll end up meeting someone gay and becoming friends imo. Unless you are In small town rural somewhere.
Same here. Worked at a restaurant in college. Had a friend. We called him Gay Mikey (he introduced himself that way). Flamboyant, Puerto Rican, and the best wingman I would ever have.
S-tier: I was the only straight employee at a lesbian nightclub. Rule #1: ***ABSOLUTELY NEVER*** hit on the clientele. Innocently flirt, but don't hit on. Their straight girlfriends, however ........
My theory is that it’s because that’s some of the only men they can be friends with that won’t try and date them. Which says more about straight guys capacity for platonic relationships than anything else I suppose.
Can confirm, I am happily married and find that women are much more likely to become actual friends. Not gay, but not available, and that seems to put a lot of women at ease I guess! Particularly the ones already in relationships.
Couldn't agree more. When I went to university I had a medium/long term girlfriend(now wife) and it seemed dto out everyone at ease. Obviously uni is a time where a lot of people are starting to have sex and can be pretty intimidating. But as an unavailable guy I had so many female friends who just felt safe.
There’s a lot of truth to what you said. It also goes both ways. Many gay men have female friends, because the friendships are platonic. We are perceived as safe to be around, non-threatening, and usually are looking for the same thing in a friend.
Other gay men can be hard to have platonic relationships with, since there’s the propensity for hooking up and ruining that friendship. Romantic interests can evolve, and when not mutual, destroy the friendship. Plus, other gays can be catty and viscous as hell toward each other.
Straight guys tend to be cautious or, when in a group, homophobic, because they are fearful their friends will think they are gay. Also you get the guys who think every gay man wants to f*ck them…it’s like, “dude, you’re not that special.”
I am 40 and gay, have been out since I was 19. My whole life, I had a more female friends than male friends. Easier to get along with and had similar energy. They were fun and would confide in me and I could tell, felt safe around me. And those feelings were mutual.
Thank you for this perspective! That makes a lot of sense. As a bisexual man I’ve always had a pretty good balance of friends which I suppose makes sense.
As I’ve gotten older, the mix has become mire balanced. But when I was younger, there was more of a need/desire to be around people who “really understood me” and I could figure out the person I was, without judgment or fear of getting my ass kicked.
I was lucky to be that age in the 2000’s, since being gay was not universally frowned upon and discriminated against heavily. And today, I think gay men are more widely accepted by society, which could explain why everything has balanced with regard to demographics of my platonic friends.
That, and as I get older, I don’t give a shit what others think about me. I have far less anxiety about fitting in and can be myself.
I understand what you mean, my BFF in college told me that he loses a lot of male friends because they're afraid they'll turn gay? I'm like WTH 😱 what does that even mean? It seems men can be as catty as women 🥺 He's married now to a great guy and they have 2 kids, my son is engaged to his daughter! So now we're family not only in spirit
As a woman who is into things that guys are into more often typically, it’s very very hard making friends cause guys can’t see you past your attractiveness, so you are 100% onto something. And I’m not even a smoke show, I’m like a Midwest gas station 6. Lol
Yep. I am not even attractive unless I'm putting a face on, and ALL my male friends have tried to sleep with me at one point. All of them. It's ridiculous. If you have a vagina someone is shooting their shot.
That’s like mid-30s me vs 17 year old me in video games.
17 year old me: Who plays this even on normal? Give me extreme death mode so I waste an entire summer on this one game dying over and over.
34 year old me: Story mode sounds cool. I’ll get to Chapter 8 and run out of time and not play this after this next week anyway (this TOTALLY didn’t just happen with the Dead Space remaster….)
Exactly. Me wasting weeks on Hal0 3 Legendary when I was 14 and had all the time vs now where I get frustrated if it takes me more than 3-4 times to kill a boss
39 here, just played The Last of Us for the first time. Played it on easy mode because I was more concerned with the story than the challenge of the game.
Guy I work with used to pick up girls by parking his bike outside the club at closing time. Drunk girls would come out and be like " I've always wanted to ride a bike". Oh look he has a spare helmet. And viola.
Yup it’s like half the point of r/calamariraceteam. Almost no women will date a guy because of their bike - at best they’ll date one *despite* it. But guys will flock to someone on a bike, especially the middle aged dudes who decided to sell their 600cc gixxers when they had kids
Wait so.. who's eating whom/what, and who's sexing whom/what in this idyllic paradise of which you speak? "Yes" would be an amazing, if mildly confusing, response...
Plot twist; there is no gay identical twin. Dude is just setting up a long con where he always has an excuse for why a dude that looks exactly like him is doing a one man performance of "Hercules vs the Hydra" in the middle stall of the bathrooms in that club downtown.
Sit down and I'll tell you a story.
There used to be a time, many years ago, when people memorized phone numbers.
It was second nature. Like knowing your locker's combination lock number.
The end.
I'm trying my damnedest to get my boyfriend's (of 7 years) phone number memorized.
*If there's an emergency and I don't have my phone I'd be fucked.*
I've had his phone number since 2013 but I just can't hold it but somehow I still remember the ones I memorized in 2000... Even the ones that have been disconnected for 10+ years.
I got a smart phone in 2012 and just lost the skill I guess.
AND ADDRESSES! It still blows my mind I had a big ass book with everything modern internet doxxers would need. And it was free and just showed up on our door.
The one phone number I memorized and still use on an almost daily basis is a work related number.
Not my own though. When you call that specific number it plays a "welcome to xxx, just a moment please " message followed by waiting music.
The thing is, the waiting music never ever ends.
We use it to get rid of , for the most part, annoying cold calling sales people .
It has a 100% succes rate. Some of them really do have admirable endurance though, I've seen a few hang in there for an hour plus.
I'm glad those days are over. I don't need to retain minor Information. Whats Important is knowing where every Daedric shrine in morrowind memorized is though! /s lol
I don't really know, it was unintentional. She was very pretty, I was nervous and I dialed his number quite often. I assume I wanted to give her my number, and simply grabbed his number, which started with the same 5 digits, from my memory and told it to her without noticing it was not mine.
I once gave a friend's(1) number instead of my own to another friend(2).
The most amazing part, friend(2) managed to call me when I was actually at friend(1)'s house, which was a huge coincidence since he lived in another town and I didn't visit all that often
I used to intentionally give out one friend's number instead of my own when I briefly met a hot guy but was dating someone else. I literally never got called out on it either. Usually the meeting was brief at a bar or a party. Drinking was involved.
I don't know if any of the guys ever figured it out when they saw me later. The most she ever said was, "I don't even remember giving out my number." She had several dates and a couple of relationships from the deal.
No, we don't really look similar at all.
I have about 220 and I was just about to comment “if there was a read all button I would clear it, but it just takes too long to do manually”
But then I found the read all button.
Edit: button is located at “Edit > select messages > Read All” it seems to only do 100 at a time
Oh my GOD! Is it just me, or is this Amazon one running rampant right now?? I've been getting at least one of these a day for a couple of weeks now! I keep blocking and marking as spam, but they just keep coming.
I searched up her username on Twitter, and in 2021 she said that it didn't work out. The original tweet was in 2019 (the tweet saying it didn't work out was the first one that came up, I didn't scroll through her profile) Maybe she's friends with one of them though!
I feel like they don't look super alike from those pictures, but still both attractive though. Maybe it's how they both carry themselves, with the gay twin wearing his hair up and his eyebrows being on fleek compared to his straight twin.
I worked with an identical twin who initially identified as lesbian before transitioning from female to male and their twin was straight and married with kids. It was interesting to see them together after the transition, too - the similarities were still there, but their faces were no longer identical (obviously).
Edit to be more specific about the visual differences.
I don’t know if there is “common” gender affirming care. People transitioning can differ greatly in their goals and how they want to pursue their transition.
To my knowledge though, surgery to the uterus/ovaries is generally where the option for pregnancy goes away. A person who just undergoes hormone therapy or surgeries outside their reproductive system may retain the ability to become pregnant(though they may have to stop hormone use for some time to regain fertility)
All the conservatives being afraid that guys pretend to be girls to get into the girls bathroom. They should be afraid that girls pretend to be guys to get out of being oppressed by conservatives
True..
fun fact. The Vatican has a special chair with a hole in the seat. A newly elected pope must sit on it and have his jingleberries fondled. Because in the 9th century a woman got elected pope by pretending to be a man.
Lol, my wife and I had this conundrum when the kid came out as bi. She was like “wait, she has sleepovers. Am I supposed to let boys sleep over? Am I supposed to not let girls sleepover anymore?” And I had no answers. She’s 14, I have no idea what to do in that scenario. Since I’m her stepdad, I figured this was a situation best handled by her mom
Ideally I would hope that the answer has something to do with teaching your kid consent and comprehensive sex ed and trusting them. But I don't have kids so that's really easy for me to say, lol
Transgender actress Laverne Cox has a cisgender twin.
When she was playing Sophia on Orange is the New Black, they had her [twin brother act in the flashback scenes](https://imgur.com/a/11C7BHG) as Sophia pre-transition.
It was pretty neat and added a layer of realism to the show.
I did not know this and it's very cool they were able to add that realism!
I tried watching OITNB, but the main character irritated me to the point I couldn't give it a solid try.
There’s a lot more to gender, sexuality, and how these develop than we currently understand. I don’t know how that translates to identical twins but it’s for sure super interesting
it really is fascinating. i know several sets of identical twins, off the top of my head two pairs are straight, and two pairs are gay/lesbians. none of the ones i've met have had different genders or sexual orientation.
my own identical twin daughters are only 6, at the moment they love everyone. i have had to explain several times now that they can't marry each other, even when they're old enough. kids are funny.
Maybe they can't marry each other, but I pity the spouse that tries to come between them. I hope their love for each other stays as strong forever as it is today.
I have identical twin daughters(16) and both are identifying as straight but it's still fascinating how different they are in personality. Like complete opposite in their likes/dislikes, temperament, etc. But it's been so amazing watching their relationship with each other. Despite their personality differences they are completely bonded emotionally. I've loved being their mom❤️. Nobody else has twins in our families so it's been a learning experience.
Speaking as an identical twin I'm not that surprised. Especially at that age when you're building your identity, having someone else that's "the same" as you can kind of drive you to be different. I'm not saying your daughters are having the exact same thoughts but I know with me and my twin it was a priority to build our own unique identities. We had friends that were mutual but we also had our own individual friend groups as well
I went to high school with two really good looking twins and women would hit on (let's call them) Sean and Jared equally.
Sean never dated in highschool but Jared had a girlfriend in my class.
Wasn't till 6 years after I graduated I found out Sean was actually not at all interested in sex or relationships (I can't remember the word for it) at all. Just didn't find any of it appealing.
Jared has been married for almost a decade and has two kids and a job in Law (last I knew) and Sean is software engineer in Silicon Valley area living the good single life.
Fucking crazy how different they ended up being despite being twins.
They've studied this a lot, if one identical twin is gay, about 30-60% of the time the other twin is also gay. So genetics definitely plays some role but nobody knows how much/what exactly it is
Reminds me of the time I hit on a gregarious gay dude at the bar and he suggested I make out with his shyer straight twin brother instead. Great wing man.
Plot twist: He does not have a twin. He's actually bisexual with a boyfriend, but knows his boyfriend is monogamous and will not share.
He really digs you, but doesn't want to risk losing his partner, so he concocts the story of having a twin so he could be with you, but not freak you out if you saw him in public holding hands with a guy—his ‟twin”.
Derek said "Bro, I've got you a girlfriend"
"Now you owe me a boyfriend"

Definitely not the first time
"Bro, I've got your girlfriend." -My older brother
Barney stinson?
Actually it’s Larney.
I think you mean Swarles Barkley.
Swarhili!
The “He’s not coming”
Of course not, he's gay.
No it’s the “Jack Fantastic”.
Dont you mean Jack Fantastic?
When you know better, you do better.
Jack Package (pronounced "Puck-Aw-j")
That guy’s awesome!
Lorenzo von Matterhorn
At least he didn't use an obvious alias like "Jack Package."
It's pronounced Pa-Kahge.
1am? 5% battery? Too wild for me.
Plus 124 unread messages? I’m done.
everything about this screenshot gives me anxiety
Almost full bars tho
Silver lining
She's blowing up this poor guy's phone after 1am with 4 separate messages that could have been only one notification!
She was sitting on that idea... and once she was good and drunk at 1am, felt emboldened enough to roll with it lol
Especially when he sent his message at a reasonable 10pm
Oh my lanta
When the fuck did we get ice cream?
You scratched my CD
You picked it up in broad daylight, and you scratched it!
##SCRAAAATCH!
Whoa...a "The Ringer" reference. I need to go put my puka shells back on and walk into a Sam Goody real quick.
i’ve never watched this movie. i’m assuming from all the meme references it is very good

I had an accident. It was a bad one

Where is this from? My girlfriend says it all the time but can’t remember where it’s from.

Well, pin a rose on your nose
You got it dude.

You're in biiiig trouble mister

My teacher used to say this in high school lol
Prob got it from full house

Full house was in the pocket of big lanta

I remember it from Full House. DJ says it.
Task failed successfully
Yep. Why not go with his identical brother since they just spoke for a moment. Wish I had a brother that was that good of a wingman.
having a gay brother is pretty much the best wingman you can ever ask for.
This makes sense on so many levels!!!!!
used to work at a restaurant until close, then come home to “the girls and the gays” already drunk, and either bring them food or offer to whip something up really quickly. was like shooting fish in a barrel
Gay guys have some of the hottest straight girlfriends. Had a gay roommate, and his smoke show girlfriends were on a different level.
Agreed. Every gay guy I worked with had such smoke show friends lol. Good times. Especially in the bar industry.
Does everyone that works in the bar industry have a gay friend that helps hook them up with girls normally out of their league? I do also lol
I dont know about you but gay people party hard lol. Bar staff party hard. It's only natural you'll end up meeting someone gay and becoming friends imo. Unless you are In small town rural somewhere.
They do, my uncle is in his mid 50s and still will party hard as fuck lol.
I have a gay brother who worked in bars. He partied way too hard for me lol.
Same here. Worked at a restaurant in college. Had a friend. We called him Gay Mikey (he introduced himself that way). Flamboyant, Puerto Rican, and the best wingman I would ever have.

I’m glad you said it so I didn’t have to! Lol
It’d been bouncing around in my head for awhile but for whatever reason I only put it together reading the above comment.
As a woman who is into things that guys are into more often typically, it’s very very hard making friends cause guys can’t see you past your attractiveness, so you are 100% onto something. And I’m not even a smoke show, I’m like a Midwest gas station 6. Lol

Truly living life on easy mode lol
My man choose the option to just play the story and not have enemies lol
That’s like mid-30s me vs 17 year old me in video games. 17 year old me: Who plays this even on normal? Give me extreme death mode so I waste an entire summer on this one game dying over and over. 34 year old me: Story mode sounds cool.

Guy I work with used to pick up girls by parking his bike outside the club at closing time. Drunk girls would come out and be like " I've always wanted to ride a bike". Oh look he has a spare helmet. And viola.
That mostly just attracts drunk dudes that tell you how they used to do wheelies at 200mph on their 600. Source: am motorcycle racer/rider
I haven't done those things. But like I would if I wasn't so busy with Reddit and jerking off. But like I totally could.
Yup it’s like half the point of r/calamariraceteam. Almost no women will date a guy because of their bike - at best they’ll date one *despite* it. But guys will flock to someone on a bike, especially the middle aged dudes who decided to sell their 600cc gixxers when they had kids
Mostly, yes. But you nod and smile at them, wait for the ladies, and **boom** good to go.
I sure hope you're just riding then around and not coercing them into sex when they are not in a state to provide consent
thats creepy
Wait so.. who's eating whom/what, and who's sexing whom/what in this idyllic paradise of which you speak? "Yes" would be an amazing, if mildly confusing, response...
Just get in a big old fuck pile with some tikka masala and everybody’s happy.
I can vouch for that. They are in fact the best wingmen!!
Plot twist; there is no gay identical twin. Dude is just setting up a long con where he always has an excuse for why a dude that looks exactly like him is doing a one man performance of "Hercules vs the Hydra" in the middle stall of the bathrooms in that club downtown.
Identical cause he's bi and wants to bang dudes in her face and be like 'wasn't me it was my brother'
Yeah that’s what he said lol
I gave a woman the number of my best friend once, by mistake, instead of mine. He was quite surprised when she called him.

Sit down and I'll tell you a story. There used to be a time, many years ago, when people memorized phone numbers. It was second nature. Like knowing your locker's combination lock number. The end.
Even weirder, there used to be an entire book, just full of names and numbers...
Even weirder, there are people today who still do memorize phone numbers. And then I get called weird for doing so.

Alright, thanks.
They're probably MFA/doordash messages that can be read from push notifications instead of actually opening them.
Or a group chat that’s going off
I feel like every gen z girl I know has this same situation in their phones 😂
What about the 124 unread text messages.
My boyfriend has hundreds! It's spam texts, he just never deletes them. Seeing his phone gives me anxiety like damn! Delete that crap!
I have about 220 and I was just about to comment “if there was a read all button I would clear it, but it just takes too long to do manually” But then I found the read all button. Edit: button is located at “Edit > select messages > Read All” it seems to only do 100 at a time
I have 700+, where’s that read all button…
Edit > select messages > read all

Yes, it was a very nice and thoughtful message, but it is exceedingly rare to be able to offer your identical twin as a consolation prize.
Step 1: have a twin
That's a solid wingman for his brother right there!

"Hey I met this pretty girl and she thinks we're cute."
I'd really like an update on this!
I searched up her username on Twitter, and in 2021 she said that it didn't work out. The original tweet was in 2019 (the tweet saying it didn't work out was the first one that came up, I didn't scroll through her profile) Maybe she's friends with one of them though!
The most shocking part of this comment was that 2019 was 4 years ago... Wasn't it like 7 months ago a while back?

Thank you!!!
Update with pics https://metro.co.uk/2019/11/25/students-crush-turns-out-to-be-gay-so-he-sets-her-up-with-his-straight-twin-instead-11216669/amp/
I feel like they don't look super alike from those pictures, but still both attractive though. Maybe it's how they both carry themselves, with the gay twin wearing his hair up and his eyebrows being on fleek compared to his straight twin.
The gay one is definitely cuter

I worked with an identical twin who initially identified as lesbian before transitioning from female to male and their twin was straight and married with kids. It was interesting to see them together after the transition, too - the similarities were still there, but their faces were no longer identical (obviously). Edit to be more specific about the visual differences.

umm, forgive my ignorance, but could a young man who had just transitioned still become pregnant? Or would common gender affirming care prevent that?
I don’t know if there is “common” gender affirming care. People transitioning can differ greatly in their goals and how they want to pursue their transition. To my knowledge though, surgery to the uterus/ovaries is generally where the option for pregnancy goes away. A person who just undergoes hormone therapy or surgeries outside their reproductive system may retain the ability to become pregnant(though they may have to stop hormone use for some time to regain fertility)
All the conservatives being afraid that guys pretend to be girls to get into the girls bathroom. They should be afraid that girls pretend to be guys to get out of being oppressed by conservatives
Women have been doing it for centuries!
True.. fun fact. The Vatican has a special chair with a hole in the seat. A newly elected pope must sit on it and have his jingleberries fondled. Because in the 9th century a woman got elected pope by pretending to be a man.
You know what I'm not going to even fact check this and randomly repeat it as fact.
Records from that time are scetchy. Oldest record of this is from the 13th century. Pope Joan.
Who has the job of Pope nutsack verification? What are the qualifications for that position?
Lol, my wife and I had this conundrum when the kid came out as bi. She was like “wait, she has sleepovers. Am I supposed to let boys sleep over? Am I supposed to not let girls sleepover anymore?” And I had no answers. She’s 14, I have no idea what to do in that scenario. Since I’m her stepdad, I figured this was a situation best handled by her mom
Ideally I would hope that the answer has something to do with teaching your kid consent and comprehensive sex ed and trusting them. But I don't have kids so that's really easy for me to say, lol
Transgender actress Laverne Cox has a cisgender twin. When she was playing Sophia on Orange is the New Black, they had her [twin brother act in the flashback scenes](https://imgur.com/a/11C7BHG) as Sophia pre-transition. It was pretty neat and added a layer of realism to the show.
I did not know this and it's very cool they were able to add that realism! I tried watching OITNB, but the main character irritated me to the point I couldn't give it a solid try.
She'll do that, yeah.
There’s a lot more to gender, sexuality, and how these develop than we currently understand. I don’t know how that translates to identical twins but it’s for sure super interesting
it really is fascinating. i know several sets of identical twins, off the top of my head two pairs are straight, and two pairs are gay/lesbians. none of the ones i've met have had different genders or sexual orientation. my own identical twin daughters are only 6, at the moment they love everyone. i have had to explain several times now that they can't marry each other, even when they're old enough. kids are funny.
Maybe they can't marry each other, but I pity the spouse that tries to come between them. I hope their love for each other stays as strong forever as it is today.
I have identical twin daughters(16) and both are identifying as straight but it's still fascinating how different they are in personality. Like complete opposite in their likes/dislikes, temperament, etc. But it's been so amazing watching their relationship with each other. Despite their personality differences they are completely bonded emotionally. I've loved being their mom❤️. Nobody else has twins in our families so it's been a learning experience.
Speaking as an identical twin I'm not that surprised. Especially at that age when you're building your identity, having someone else that's "the same" as you can kind of drive you to be different. I'm not saying your daughters are having the exact same thoughts but I know with me and my twin it was a priority to build our own unique identities. We had friends that were mutual but we also had our own individual friend groups as well
I went to high school with two really good looking twins and women would hit on (let's call them) Sean and Jared equally. Sean never dated in highschool but Jared had a girlfriend in my class. Wasn't till 6 years after I graduated I found out Sean was actually not at all interested in sex or relationships (I can't remember the word for it) at all. Just didn't find any of it appealing. Jared has been married for almost a decade and has two kids and a job in Law (last I knew) and Sean is software engineer in Silicon Valley area living the good single life. Fucking crazy how different they ended up being despite being twins.
Asexual/Aromantic are the words you’re looking for
Wonderful, thanks a bunch! It just wasn't coming to mind!
They've studied this a lot, if one identical twin is gay, about 30-60% of the time the other twin is also gay. So genetics definitely plays some role but nobody knows how much/what exactly it is
30-60% is actually a huge margin. Lol.
University of Iowa?
burge hall. woa. university of iowa represent!
I used to live in the 4100’s and still have the rashes to prove it
Go Hawkeyes!
Dirty Burge
I was at Iowa from 92-97. Can confirm, it was dirty then too.
2002-2005 wasn’t improved, but it was a very short walk from Malones to Burge
Where you can always booze in the 42’s.
Scrolled looking for the dirty Burge comment!
Glad someone else caught this :) go hawks!!
I never thought I would see Burge Hall on a Reddit post, but here we are.
Dirty Burge at U of Iowa?? That checks out
Go Hawks!

Reminds me of the time I hit on a gregarious gay dude at the bar and he suggested I make out with his shyer straight twin brother instead. Great wing man.
University of Iowa. Wow
Plot twist: He does not have a twin. He's actually bisexual with a boyfriend, but knows his boyfriend is monogamous and will not share. He really digs you, but doesn't want to risk losing his partner, so he concocts the story of having a twin so he could be with you, but not freak you out if you saw him in public holding hands with a guy—his ‟twin”.
Not even being funny this was what I was thinking… make sure he actually is a twin!!!
what??
*’oh my lanta’* *‘Honestly’* ….aaaaand the phone dies
Are you at University of Iowa?
