Thanks to Disney's 100th Disney Channel Original Movie Celebration, we've been blessed with the opportunity to watch all of our favorite DCOM's. One of which, for me, is Double Teamed, because not only do I have a twin but we both played high school basketball (for a short amount of time) and we were both involved in fine arts. Sounds just like the movie right? Even if we weren't so weirdly similar to Heidi and Heather Burge, Double Teamed shows many experiences that all twins can relate to.
1. You're involved in the same activities
No matter how hard you try to fight it, twins inevitably become involved in the same things. Whether it's basketball or choir, it's just another opportunity for confusion and comparison.
2. People get you confused, ALL THE TIME
Even Heidi and Heather get confused for each other, it's a common and unavoidable. What can we say, we're used to it!
3. You're always trying to get out of your twin's shadow
You can't be good at everything, and what you aren't good at, your twin is even better. It's hard trying to live up to those types of expectations.
4. You share everything, even your clothes
Because there are two of you, and you probably wear the same size clothes, it is just easier to buy clothes for one person instead of two. This can be good if you want to save money and maximize your wardrobe, but not if you are extra protective over your favorite shirt.
"Is that my shirt?!" Well.. yeah.
5. You talk at the same time
Being so close to someone, you learn to know just what the other person is going to say before they say it, even before you say it. It's so funny watching people freak out after you say the exact same thing, in perfect synchronization.
Yup, that's the look they always give you.
6. Your fights are really awkward
All siblings get into arguments, but twin arguments are on another level. Some people think it's funny, which just makes you more mad, but it is always awkward when you get into an argument or fight in public. Just makes sure you don't do anything stupid.
7. You have your own "thing"
Sure, other siblings can be very close, but twins are the closest you can get! What better way to recognize the importance of your relationship than with something special, like a handshake or weird, Burge pointing thing. It's just another thing that sets you apart from everyone else.
8. You purposely confuse people
While confusing people can be annoying if it's not on purpose, intentionally confusing people can be very funny and useful. Especially in a basketball game. You're welcome for that win, Sea Kings!
*cue evil planning*
9. You have the same friends
Considering you are involved in some of the same activities, and are around each other all the time, it's safe to assume that you probably share friends. If they love you, why wouldn't they love your twin?!
10. You always have each other's backs
A relationship so close comes with huge responsibility and love. Not only do you want to support your twin, it's your job, on and off the court.
