"To make it fair, I sent both the same message: "Who wants to see Oasis with me? I can only take one of you." Of course, Charlie replied instantly, as they're his favorite band. We had a year until the concert, and Charlie spent it playing Oasis constantly. Most nights, I'd hear him belting out Oasis songs from the shower."
"We showed up at 5:30 p.m. for the 8:45 show, both wearing the Oasis jerseys I'd bought the day before. People had been queuing since six in the morning, and I worried we'd be stuck far from the stage. So when we ended up four rows from the front, I couldn't believe it. I sent Charlie for food and drinks, giving him my credit card, which is always a risky move. He came back with burgers and beers."
A friend offered two spare tickets to a sold-out Oasis concert, forcing a choice between twin sons. The narrator asked both which wanted to go; Charlie responded immediately and spent the following year listening to Oasis constantly. On the concert day they arrived at 5:30 p.m. for general admission and unexpectedly secured a spot four rows from the stage. Charlie fetched food and drinks with the narrator's credit card, and they shared several beers while watching the stadium fill. The extended early wait turned into focused one-on-one time, breaking typical twin dynamics and creating a lasting memory.
