At least one time in their life every girl has been told they're just like their mother. For some the phrase may seem like a terrible thing, however, it doesn't need to be the punchline to some cruel joke your boyfriend cracked. Your mother may have some iffy qualities to her, but she has millions of hilarious qualities that she passed down to you as well. Here are twelve signs that you and your mother are one in the same.

1.You laugh just like her.

It may be the squint in your eyes or the way you throw your head back, but chances are if you are anything like me you laugh just like your mother. Laughter is the purest and happiest noise in the world. The comical noise is the least of your problems, if you laugh like your mom take it for what it is: a compliment.

2. You share the same taste in foods.

You only have three main meals you know how to cook, but those three meals consist of whatever food your mom has placed on your dinner table your whole life. Some people may find it odd that you actually enjoy broccoli, but, that's just how you were raised.

3. You randomly burst out into song.

Whether your mom has the voice of an angel or not, chances are she sings while she cleans, while she cooks, while she showers, and during any other household chore. By default you now sing every second of the day, which sounds great, until Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" is stuck in your head for a week.

4. You don't let anyone starve.

Whether it be a sandwich, leftover lasagna or yesterday's pizza, Mom's are notorious for feeding anyone that comes through their door. Being in college makes you want to take over that quality and feed every boy you see eating crackers instead of real food, just remember, you can't feed everyone.

5. You make your friends text you that they made it safely.

Whenever you arrive anywhere your mom is the first person you have to text, whether it be to school, your friend's house or work. This is a task that you will remember forever, extend to your kids and have already started assigning to your friends. If anyone leaves your presence and doesn't text you within the appropriate amount of time, you get a bad gut feeling that is more often than not untrue. It's great you care about your friends, though, don't ever change though.

6. You always make sure everyone brings a jacket.

Throughout your life, your mom has reminded you to bring a jacket regardless of the weather. To this day you do the same thing to your friends, however, not just a jacket, you ensure everyone brings gloves, scarves, and hats as well.

7. You bring hand sanitizer wherever you go.

I never appreciated my mother's love of cleanliness until I got to college. If you're anything like me you carry hand sanitizer everywhere you go, just like your mom taught you.

8. You turn down the music in the car when you talk.

We have all experienced that awkward moment in the car where you're jamming out to an amazing song, but your mom turns the music down to tell you something, interrupting your impromptu karaoke session. Never did you think that you would do the same thing, but now you not only fo that, but turn the music down when you come to a stop light as well.

9. You have a mental checklist of all the things you need before you leave.

Did you remember to turn the lights off? Is your perfume in your purse? Did you eat? Check, check and check. Just like your mom, before you drive off anywhere you do the mental checklist. Just make sure if anyone is with you that you don't speak out loud unless you're willing to face the awkward tension.

10. You dance to commercials.

Sometimes when a commercial comes on the television with a really catchy theme song, one must dance along. Just like your mom, you do the dance or maybe even just an awkward head bob.

11. You make terrible jokes that no one else finds funny.

Just like your mom, whenever you tell a joke there is always an awkward silence followed by laughter, your own that is. Maybe someone will throw you a pity laugh, don't worry, though, the situation itself is hilarious on its own.

12. You tune out people you don't want to listen to.

Any super mom knows how to tune out the people they wish not to listen to, especially her husband and children. Inherently you got this trait from her, and it's a good one to have.
