I'm not exaggerating in the slightest when I say that every choice I made from 1999-2004 was made because of Mary Kate and Ashley movies. Their style was on point. They were constantly adventuring, throwing fun theme parties and solving any crime by dinner time. What preteen girl wouldn't want to be them?
Looking back, I can honestly say that some of the most important (and least useful) lessons I've learned came from the wonder twins. Here are the top 5 things MK&A taught me:

1. Jaunting about a foreign country alone when you're 13 is fine, as long as cute boys are involved
French strangers are ALWAYS super friendly and will want to hang out with you. And they will ALWAYS be cute french boys who want to take you to see the sights and love you forever. Who needs adult supervision when you have hunky dudes?
They will also tell you that American girls are better than French girls because French girls are boring, and American girls walk around like:

2. Vandalism is perfectly legal if your intentions are pure
First off, if your dad is single, he's obviously lonely and needs you, his 10 year old daughter, to make a pathetic billboard ad asking women to date him. That is exactly what he needs.
Secondly, it is very easy to sneak up an empty billboard at night to paint said billboard. Just get your cool friend Cody (who will eventually be your love interest because duh) to go up with you and help. Make sure you wear a black hoodie, though. Otherwise you will get caught, though you aren't likely to face any consequences.

3. If you get arrested for smuggling in a foreign contry, there will be no consequences and you will likely solve an international smuggling crime spree in the end (and don't forget about the cute boys)
Enough said.
4. How to make the best witness protection Folder that will ward off a murderous criminal
Mary Kate and Ashley are the only two people in the world who could do this. Lets not talk about the fact that this is completely unrealistic and focus on the sheer genius of the notes. The most ridiculous thing about it is that this worked. This little prank totally derailed Amil Hachoo (bless you) from finding them. A+ work, girls.
5. If you work really hard at soccer, you might score a goal and also win over cute boys
One twin is a tomboy who is amazing at soccer. The other likes fashion and is boy crazy. How ever will they find balance in their lives. Oh right, by switching places. They end up learning so much about each other, became more well rounded and--you guessed it--landed some super cute boys.
But the real lesson learned from Switching Goals is that Michael Cera has been a delicate little flower since 1999:
