Identical twins are seriously fascinating. What's even cooler about sharing 100% DNA with a sibling is what happens in adulthood when one or both twins have kids of their own. Technically, each twin shares the same amount of DNA with each other's kids – making their kids genetically siblings. Neat, right?
Brothers Josh and Jason McAloon definitely use their identical twin status to their advantage. Each twin is married with kids of his own. And recently, Josh and his wife, Janelle, surprised "Uncle Daddy" Jay by loading up his truck with their three kids and declaring it was "date night."

Josh and his wife, Janelle, recently surprised his identical twin brother, Jason, with an 'Uncle Daddy day.'
In early April, Janelle and Josh published a video via TikTok that has since attracted more than 1.8 million views and over 202,000 likes. "Date day here we come! Uncle Daddy on Daddy Duty!" they captioned the update.
He proceeded to load up his three kids in Jay's truck without asking first.
In text overlain on the video, Josh wrote, "Surprising my identical twin by leaving the kids with him because they are his kids too."
'Come on, guys," Josh said as he helped his three young children out of their vehicle and into Jay's truck, parked at a Dunkin' restaurant. "You are all going to hang out with Uncle Daddy."
From the car, Janelle shouted, "Hurry before Uncle Daddy comes out! Hurry!"
Jason's reaction was heartwarming.
After Jason exited Dunkin' and spotted his twin brother in the parking lot, Josh informed him, "You've got all the kids, Uncle Daddy. They're in the car."
"Yo, what the heck?" Jason said, to which Josh responded, "It's date night."
Janelle added, "You're on Daddy duty today … They're genetically half yours."
At first, Jason protested, exclaiming, "You guys are going to leave me with all the kids? I'll put them back in your car."
But Josh insisted, "They're genetically yours, take them," and Jason relented, saying, "All right. I guess Uncle Daddy's doing Uncle Daddy day."
