Teddy Weaver

1. Definitely very positive. We care for one another and help each other out when we’re feeling down or have a problem.

2. I don’t know how she feels, but I definitely think it’s less awkward seeing her around campus than it was in the halls of middle school.

3. Favorite: She’s good at the things that I’m bad at i.e. math, killing insects, organization skills, getting enough vitamin C.

Least favorite: How unresponsive she is when you ask her a question. On a good day it takes her a minute and 20 seconds to respond and at that point I need to restate the whole thing. Sometimes I wonder if she’s been in a war and is lapsing into traumatic flashbacks.

4. Whenever she acts like my mom and bosses me around in front of my friends.

5. In terms of grammar and vocabulary I’d say she edges me out, but I’m much better at pronunciation. When we have classes together, I’d say things are pretty normal. We help each other with homework and studying like a roommate or dorm-mate would. Sometimes we can get all the way to midterms before our teacher even knows we’re twins.

6. Projectile vomit, pour bleach into my eyes, and die from the heavy weight of awkwardness… I’m just kidding, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

7. This might be a little outlandish to you, but we usually eat turkey.

8.  She’ll probably be a health conscientious power-mom taking the world and her husband in reins.

9. I always have someone that will have my back and push me to do my best.

Sammie Weaver

1. I would say Teddy and I have a pretty great relationship. We get along really well and barely ever fight with each other. Sometimes we disagree over what song to listen to on the car ride to school, but usually we find something that we both like.

2. I think Exeter has only made us closer. The past three years has been a roller coaster of up and downs, but it is great to always have someone to cheer you up or be the first one to congratulate you.

3. My favorite thing about Teddy is his sense of humor. He is the funniest person I know and never fails to make me laugh. My least favorite thing about Teddy is that he knows exactly what buttons to push to tick me off.

4. One vacation we went to California. Our mom took us to a boardwalk on the beach. There was a ferris wheel and a roller coaster and a lot of rides. We went on one ride together and a couple thought my brother and I were dating. They yelled at Teddy to “give her a smack on the lips.” It was really embarrassing, but Teddy promptly yelled back, “She’s my sister!” which made the couple turn bright red.

5. I think I’m better at Spanish overall, although Teddy has a talent for making hilarious Spanish videos. I generally enjoy having Teddy in my classes. We’ve been in the same history class, Spanish class and math class together. It’s nice having him in the same class because you always have someone to study with or read over your work.

6. If Teddy started dating one of my best friends I probably wouldn’t care too much. My friend would just have to know that I would always take Teddy’s side no matter what.

7. We don’t have many Thanksgiving traditions but we both enjoy watching the Thanksgiving day football game.

8. In 40 years, I see Teddy as a pediatrician with a wife and three kids. He would also be the coach of his son’s lacrosse team.

9. Like I said before, being a twin at Exeter is great because your twin is always there to cheer you up or congratulate you. Being a twin also provides plenty of material for English narratives. We both have written multiple pieces ragging on each other which creates some sibling rivalry.
