Twins

Have you ever seen the movie Big Business? Bette Midler amd Lily Tomlin play two sets of twins who are mixed up at birth and then their lives cross pathes 30+ years later. For some reason I love this movie! When I've got a project to work on and Mike's gone, I'll rent it and enjoy a good laugh from the 80's.


As you know, Mike is a twin, but sometimes we wonder if there is a little Big Business going on. Ryan Meikle is a friend of ours and people in our church are always confusing Mike for Ryan and Ryan for Mike! It didn't help that they were both YM presidents and scout masters at the same time. I've always just laughed about it, but now I'm getting a little concerned. I've noticed that not only do they look alike, they dress alike, talk alike, stand alike, and use the same jokes! They also have very similar interestes.


Last night the Meikles stopped by to bring us dessert and I couldn't help but snap a few pictures of these "twins" chatting on our deck. They were even dressed alike- as they often are!


Mike and Ryan-- they're even standing alike!

Here we are on an outing a couple of weeks ago. Do you see what I mean?
Matt, we don't want to leave you hanging. We thought about it and only came up with one possiblity. Ha ha! Matt- we're excited to see you and Cam in Nov. for your big 30th birthday celebration!!! Perhaps we should invite Ryan and Chris Farley to come along as well. Afterall, it might be their birthdays as well!

I could probably take Mike and his "other" twin in a wrestling match at the same time...just like the old days! J/K. I might need to go on a diet if I look like Farley!

That is too funny! Maybe Mike and Matt's mom actually had triplets? I love that movie too, by the way.

Wow! That is crazy! I was sure the first picture was Mike...at first---until scrolling down and seeing Mike, then I realized I was wrong, and fell into the trap with everyone else!!! How fun that you are all getting together for 30!!!

I fell for it too! I thought the first picture was Mike. Crazy! Madeline was just telling us today that her teacher calls her Cloe because Cloe looks just like her "shorter twin". There's someone out there for everyone....oooh, creepy.

That is really funny. They totally look alike. Even funnier, I looked at you blog quick the other day but didn't have time to read it all and though you did a post and pictures about Mike and his real twin. I think you are on to something with your theory.
