Conjoined Twins and Best Friends (The Story of Callie and Carter) 

I hope they have a thousand lipsticks, Taco Bell, and a lifetime membership to the aquarium 🥰

When they said "we're not spiders because they have 8 legs" I laughed because thats such a cute response. These 2 are precious 💜

The way Carter whispered “a taco”😭🩷🩷🩷 omg they are so freaking cute😭😭😭🩷

I really love the way Callie and Carter's mom worded the situation; "They are typical kids, they're just in an untypical situation." and I can see that clear as day. Callie and Carter play and are energetic like any other child, they just get around a little different. Much love to this family! I wish them a very bright future and that their hopes and dreams come true!

"You don't always need a thousand friends, you just need the right two." That is so true and so powerful.

These have to be the most adorable little girls I've ever seen. I couldn't stop laughing when Callie was thinking of what her one wish would be and Carter whispered to her, "A taco!"

I'm a minute in and theyve won me over with their cuteness and their funny dynamic. "I'm thinkin" "Shes thinkin over there" haha

These darling little girls are spitfires. Their man clearly has a great influence in addressing issues that they have with moving and interacting with their peers. I really admire this mom's sense of calm and acceptance of Callie and Carter's sense of self. They are lucky they have her and vice versa. I love how the dad introduced us to "his" girls. Those little girls are a gift. And so are their parents.

Everybody needs to watch these interviews. Carter and Callie are just like all the other kids out there who love lipstick, Taco Bell and aquariums. They have dreams, fears, interests, etcetera. They’re just kids, who happen to be conjoined twins. As humans, when we see people who are different, we automatically just see them as their diagnosis, without thinking about how they’re human beings who are just like anyone else. This was me before I found Chris’ channel. The work he does is life changing and is making a positive impact on our world. God bless you sir❤️

They take turns being upright for each other when each wants to speak. So beautiful. They’re amazing, and their parents are, too.

They are just two little kids being silly together, just like everyone else. I love that. They are little goofballs in the best way possible.

They are so sweet. I love when Carter explains what they might do if they want to do different things - 17:03 - It's such a clever and amazing way to compromise and find solutions.

I love that Chris seems to make an instant connection with every child he interviews.

They have two very distinct personalities despite being next to eachother all the time I find that so cool

Okay, how they move is probably the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. The fact that they don’t share a brain but can walk in sync like that is literally mind blowing! How in unison they are is beautiful!!

i love how callie and carter move and share space 🥰 they are so clever about how they navigate their world! rolling onto the couch, crawling, spinning, climbing, sitting in every possible configuration - all sensory delights and liberated movement! coordination at is finest! 🌟

"I wanna be a mom" "I wanna meet an alligator" They summed up the entire life concept

It's cool to see how Carter is more talkative and Callie is so patient and just vibes. Their personalities seem to work really well together.

Omg, they are going to have soooo much neck and back pain when they're older. So heartbreaking. 😢😢😢😢

Omg! 38 year old roofer with 3 daughters and 1st boy on the way in june over here crying watching these Two with more joy and love in your hearts than anyone I know 😭🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 you guys are absolutely amazing! My heart and love goes out to you. God bless you both with an incredible long love filled life🙏🤍 Bravo mom and dad! The real hero's 😊

People can say whatever they want about these two; they are just an average pair of sisters. they play, they tease, they love, that’s the beauty of life, it’s so uniquely beautiful

I always find it adorable how hard it is to keep kids on topic.

I'm gonna say it. I feel so bad for them. I genuinely hope they set them up for life care and do not put the burden on their son. Because I was the child who carried the burden knowing I'd have to care for my older sibling.

I love how the reporter talk to the kids. He listens to them, answers like one should answer to a kid, with kindness, understanding, asking how they feel or felt,... showed a lot of love

I like how distinct their personalities are. Callie is much more mellow and introverted while Carter is clearly more of a leader. They complement one another very well.

It broke my heart to hear about the kids at school calling them a spider. Parents teach your children that its ok to ask questions its ok to be curious but its not ok to make fun of anyone. This starts in the home. Teach exceptence, teach that were not all the same were all different in our own unique ways. Everyone deserves love and exceptance. Everyone deserves friends. I think they are smart, fun and taken well care of and loved very much.

i think the dad has an amazing outlook on life and this situation. God bless him and the family. 😇

Kids being kids! Such a joy to see these siblings share and grow in their experiences of the world. Credit to their parents for adapting to a world where support for their special circumstance is limited. This video will certainly help others facing similar challenges. Thank you for sharing your inspirational story.

I’m always amazed how conjoined twins coordinate their movements without speaking. Humans are fascinating.

Abby and Brittany Hansel ( conjoined twins) are teachers now. They are REALLY good and the kids love them. These two are Cutie Pies. My dad, a Pediatric surgeon of forty years, discussed conjoined twins to me when I was a kid. I had a lot of questions. He has had a few difficult cases where he was head of the final team. When separation is considered it takes SEVERAL months of planning , possibly much longer. Consultations , meeting, discussions as well as practice runs are done until the final team of surgeons plus anyone else who needs to contribute in OR work in concert like a symphony when the time comes. Specialists are flown in from all over TO be that team. There is always a back up plan. Just an incredible process. It all depends on how they are conjoined. These two are doing great! Intelligent, healthy and best of all THEY ARE BEST FRIENDS!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Crazy how the human body can even find a way to grow like this and be operational, incredible really.

I like that getting separated can be their choice when they're older if they want to do that or not, rather than the parents making the choice to put them through something like that.

I've been watching this channel for a few years now. I'm just an average guy who struggled with ADHD and depression, and I've had so many bouts of nihilism about life. I've even advocated antinatalism and committed to not having children of my own. But after seeing all these videos, especially seeing these two, my perspective has really shifted. These sisters are beautiful souls and it's incredible to see how happy they are. Life is just so strange and different for all of us.

I remember reading Violet and Daisy's story (another pair of conjoined twins) and they said something like, "We saw others walking by themselves and we felt sorry for them, because they were not as we were." They were beautiful and talented women whose suffering came exclusively from the terrible treatment they received at every single stage of their lives. They were always thankul to have each other 💙💜

Looks like these two little darlings have wonderful parents and a loving home... They are both so adorable!

My twins were very close to being conjoined, if their egg split any later they would have. Instead they shared a placenta and amniotic sac. That in itself was so stressful, and to top it off i was 15. I commend this momma and her strength.

Oh my gosh you can tell how talented Chris is at interviewing at this point. He was really great at keeping their attention and moving the interview along when they are so bubbly and have so much to say. What a special place on the internet this is ❤️

I love that their dad makes them do chores ❤

So glad they were born to the most selfless, compassionate parents. Our society would be in a much better place if we embraced each others differences, instead of judging and isolating people who differ from the norm. Quality of life depends on the support and treatment of disabled people, not their disability.

Their just normal kids in an abnormal situation and I think thats awesome

I commend the mom for sharing her truth about how she struggled with thoughts and decisions throughout the pregnancy. All the best for these girls to prosper as the get older.

carter trying to influence callie's wish by whispering taco bell then not answering taco bell when it was her turn 😂

I have identical twin sons that are the same age. It brought tears to my eyes watching how these girls are exactly like my own sons. A twin relationship truly is astounding. They fight like crazy, but in the end, they are each other’s world. Lately they’ve been entering into what I call “twin land” together. It’s a place where the only two people who exist are each other. They zone out and play because no one else in the world matters more. Twins are such a beautiful thing to experience.

This video really made my day, i haven't seen such cute children in a long time. They are perfect just the way there are and i love how they run around it's so funny. I just recently saw a documentary about conjoined twins that were separated and it didn't end well for one of them so why to separate them at all if they work just fine? Some people seem to think doctors are gods but in fact, nature made these kids perfect, there's nothing to "fix". The energy coming out from these children is shining and beautiful.. they'll be amazing adults.

There's something poetic about the fact that all conjoined twins have unique anatomies. Everyone's special, but they carry their special on the outside and express their uniqueness in everything they do.

You asked Callie about her wish, and Carter kept telling her to say "Taco Bell", but then when it was Carter's turn, she didn't answer "Taco Bell". 😂 I also noticed that while Callie focused on lipstick, fake nails, and dolls, Carter focused more on video games, alligators and the aquarium. What sweet, smart, considerate girls. It's really cool how they asked about each other and figured out a way to both do what they wanted to do. 👍👍

It's utterly amazing that this is even possible.

I just can’t imagine giving birth to conjoined twins… it must hurt a lot!

These little girls are a testament to their parents' unconditional love and regard for them. I love that they are such happy and talkative little girls.

nothing but positive vibes from this family. those parents are such a nice down to earth people

Every child deserves a life . Pretty girls and hope they have a good happy future ❤️

I really appreciate the fathers message at the end. I try to abide by that myself. “Never give up. There are always ways to alter the story.”

Their little childish ramblings, both twins have charming personalities

That so many parents want to show their special kids on this channel, speaks of a desire for us to be more accepting, more compassionate, just more. Thank you for giving a voice to these kids.

I have never seen anyone with as much empathy and love for humanity as Mr Chris. Beautiful human being. great videos to watchwhen you feel down.

This condition is awful! Just imagine how hard it is to walk and get around which most people takes for granted. My heart goes out to them.

The way they run originally freaked me out, but then you realize how mobile they are together and it’s kinda amazing. Like you think it’d be hard, but they make that and walking look easy despite both legs being controlled separately. And with 2 sets of ears for balance on a single body too. When they say walking is hard, no one can even imagine how it would feel or be like

Callie and Carter seem like happy, cheeky, much-loved kids. I'm glad they're growing up confident in themselves.

На узи же видно, что аномалия.Зачем рожать таких детей? Обрекать их на мучения.. или прооперировали сразу , оставили одного полноценного ребенка пожизненные .😢😢😢

These parents and twins have so much patience and love. And wisdom… ❤🙏🏽

They are so rough and tumble with their dad, and cuddly with mom lol. So adorable! I like how they are honest that it is tiring to walk and they'd rather crawl.

I appreciate Momma Bear being forthcoming about how she was pressured to abort prior to delivery because of the diagnosis as well as explaining why they chose to not pursue surgical separation. You're an Amazing Mom! Callie & Carter are So blessed to have wonderful and LOVING parents in their lives!!!

I can’t even imagine a life like that. I wish them much happiness

"there's.always ways to alter the story or better yourself..." that's the gold right there. Thank you for this inspiring family, blessings and love to you and all.

Their dad's words of wisdom are beautiful. Those two girls are in good hands. May life treat them well.

I kinda, agree. It's probably not wise to seperate them now. It's their body- so they should make that decision for themselves when they are older and can properly comprehend the risks. The bladder part is a bit dodgey; but i've seen two girls separated and were similarly conjoined. Things did work out well for them in the end. But considering it's such a huge life change, its probably a good idea to let the twins decide when they're older.

Мне очень жалко этих девочек

To mom- thank you for having Callie and Carter!! This world NEEDS them!!!

It must be so hard to keep these girls focused at school! They seem so silly and fun! I am a teacher and it is hard to keep kids focused even when they aren't literally attached to each other. They seem like tons of fun

Their little voices 😮 They are too dang cute. It’s good that they get along so well. Even asking “are you ok?” while the other rolls and plays.

I really liked how you ask questions like 'What's the best thing about being sisters?' and let them answer however they want because that will reflect their personal experiences and point of views. Not asking them about being conjoined. You really show a sense of compassion and understanding.

Carter talks a mile a minute and her sister is so reserved but there's definitely some spunk there. Precious kids! They remind me of my own little ones.

Heartbreaking as they will become adults & permanently together, wish them all the best 👍

The spider story is inspiring. These girls are articulating their emotions so healthily regarding their social interactions with abled people. I wish them all the best

One of my favorite thing that kids do is narrate out little scenarios. Whether it's them describing the things they do or just imagining, they all do it and it's funny every time.

AMAZING PARENTS! Callie and Cater are definitely 6 year old, and living a happy life, what more can you ask for them!

They seem happy and normal but also seem uncomfortable as well, so talkative 😂

I am so proud of these parents. They are the best. Their girls are precious and their little boy is adorable.

My daughter is 2 1/2 years and autistic. We also have a 12 and 13 year old. I’ve watched this channel for awhile now and this dad gave the BEST advice I’ve heard. “A new life adventure that we weren’t prepared for is not the end, no matter what it is. There’s always ways to alter the story” Perfectly said

I love how Callie warned the boy to run, since he wants to call them a spider. 😂💕

These two darling 6 year olds are incredibly verbal! Quick thinkers, quick wit, great imaginations, sincerity, authenticity and value their own unique thoughts and ideas!

This breaks my heart. They look so uncomfortable, but appears to be so happy. It's so confusing.

Hey, Chris! I really appreciate the easy to read captions, but if I could make a suggestion: it's much easier to follow captions when you're deaf if there's something to distinguish between each speaker (like perhaps the white text could always be you and it could be other colors for different speakers? I don't think that would affect legibility since the orange border stands out so well). Given we have to focus so much on the captions, sometimes it's hard to visually tell who said something. It's easier when it's just you and one special guest, because your tone is recognizable, but I struggled to follow this one because I couldn't tell which twin was saying what. Thanks for all you do!

I have wanted a lipstick tattoo since last year and now, after this video, it really gets a new, awesome meaning. Let me explain; last year I tried to commit and almost passed away. I ended up in a psych ward but my family lives very far away from here and no one could bring me stuff from the outside. My lips were so chapped I lost a lot of blood daily. I had a terrible blister because I kept biting it from stress. I ended up asking for one to a person that was there, her parents gave me one. I was so miserable. Lipsticks now remind me of a luxury, something that's taken so granted but in there it was something I dreamed of. It keeps me grounded to think about it. To remember those hopeless nights. I don't want to go back there even if I struggle daily and often think about doing it again, I won't. I want to survive. When the little girl mentioned it, an infinity of lipsticks, it really made me smile and added a new layer of the tattoo I'll get. From now on the tattoo I'll get will not only remember of my journey and growth but also of these beautiful girls and how much life is fragile, perfect but imperfect and most of all important. (English is not my first language so excuse me if there are any mistakes).

I love Carter and Callie I would adopt them but I think mum would miss them too much. They are adorable. I love when they crawl I crawl too. I have a mix of physical disability and a mental health condition too. I'm 36 and doing fine. I hope they have a great life and do anything and everything they dream of. Callie and Carter are just precious, and the bond they share is beautiful, when they hold hands and make goofy sounds is way too cute xx

The crazy thing is that .. LITERALLY!!!! 5 minutes into the interview you completely forget they are joined or DIFFERENT in any way shape or form.. their personality is so massively STRONG that anything else just melts into the background.. I have to wonder if these personlities are forged by their difficulties.. because they show more spirit and personality than the next 10 kids their age.

When Carter asked Callie if she was okay after they jumped made my heart melt😫💕

As someone who was born disabled I am so glad I wasnt just thrown away. Disabled people of any type have value if you cant handle raising a disabled child others will gladly do it. Callie and Carter are amazing and such a wonderful example of the value of all life what awesome parents what an amazing Mom for trusting her heart and not being pushed to dispose these amazing children. I could watch these two kids all day they are just an utter delight. Well done Mom and Dad for giving them all the love and normalcy they need and deserve. I hope and know they will have a great life even with the bumps in the road it is obvious they have been given a great foundation by their parents and they both know they have each other always.

Это не жизнь, а мучения, и это не смешно, а страшно для них,для родителей, не дай Бог никому такого!😢

Не знаю какое счастье испытывает эта мама, лично я испытываю сострадание. Здоровья всем!

Callie and Carter are absolute little darlings. I love how chatty they are. So glad mum and dad stuck to their guns and brought these sweet little girls into the world 💕

Callie and Carter are such distinctly different girls, but they work together so well! I can definitely tell Callie is the more quiet type while Carter loves to chat. Even while Carter is talking, she knows Callie well enough to say some of her answers for her, and Callie seems quite satisfied with simply chilling out. It's lovely to see them be so different yet so emotionally connected with each other.

Seeing them run around is so wholesome I love how strong and joyful they are

I see these girls are definetly happy,well adjusted normal as can be.I really enjoyed seeing them ,it feels good that i see two really and truly happy kids.❤❤❤Ty Chris.Way to go to thier family they are a joy .

I think it's cool how they take turns being in the sitting up position, like they have an unspoken agreement! I hope they always get along as well as they seem to in this video...they don't always agree on everything but they compromise. And that should be a lesson to us all! God Bless these sweet girls and I wish them both a happy healthy long life❤❤❤

The husband is one of my favorite parents SBSK has interviewed. His philosophy on life and challenges, despite his own, are beautiful. He describes things so well, just like them being little snowflakes ❄️

They really are just two normal little kids who make living in an unusual body work for them. It's great to see the support they get from their parents.

Two kids being kids. Amazing and a delightful interview.

This was an absolute delight to watch. I am glad this mom showed delight in her twin daughters and decided to show life and love to the beautiful children.

Oh, I wanna hang out with these two! Aquariums, lipstick, Taco Bell... that is my kind of day! Also, "I kinda like my mom more than my dad" 🤣
