Meet the super-fit, identical twins who live and work together in Charlotte
What is the most annoying question y’all usually get being identical twins?
Meghan: “I would probably say when someone asks our birthday, and then they say, well when was your sister born? And we’re like, we’re twins. We could have actually been born December 31 and January 1, but probably not likely.”
I thought y’all were going to say ‘we think the same’ or about dressing the same.
Meghan: “That’s probably number two. And they just ask if you can read each other’s minds.”
Well, can you?
Kelly: “We have actually before. It’s not an everyday occurrence. There was one time where I was in Colorado and Meghan was at home, and she had actually gotten in a bike accident and I just got really sick to my stomach, like at the same moment. It was very bizarre. We’ve had a moment like that, but it’s not every day.”
Are you your biggest competitor (when it comes to sports) or is it your sister?
Kelly: “I would always want to win the last point. I would not get off the (tennis) court until I won the last point.”
Meghan: “It was so annoying. Literally we had to continue to hit tennis balls until Kelly would win the last point. So finally, I had to start tanking the last one so she could win…and we could go home.”
Is that still how it is now?
Kelly: “No, we’ve matured. But we do make each other better. And I feel like that’s why we’ve gotten to where we are in life too because growing up it was like, ‘I want to be better than my sister’, and now we just push each other in a healthy way.”
What has your dating life been like as identical twins?
Meghan: “SO complicated.”
Kelly: “The most annoying thing is when people say, ‘Oh my gosh I have the best guy for you guys, when do you want to meet him?’ And we’re like, ugh, we’re completely different, and it’s just so awkward, what if we both really like this guy? Are we going to fight it out at home or what? That’s the worst. Even this weekend, someone was like, ‘Oh yea, I have this guy I want to set you guys up with.’ Guys. Like both of us. Like pick one!”
Meghan: “It’s dreadful in every way when that happens. There’s not a way to win that scenario.”
Kelly: “So we just avoid when that happens…”
