Everyone points it out — your family, your friends and even the random stranger that you recruited to take your picture. You are your mother’s mini-me, and guess what? There’s no fighting it, so you might as well embrace it.

1. Gatherings with her friends usually consist of intent stares and remarks every five minutes about how much you look like her.

2. Everyone in the family accidentally calls you by her name at least once per gathering.

3. She understands that the cure to everything is shopping...

4. ...and you know exactly what she would pick out to buy.

5. You've picked up her speaking habits and even find yourself answering the phone like her...

6. ...which means you've made a hobby of fooling people when answering her phone.

7. Your mother-daughter telepathy has only gotten worse with age, usually resulting in contacting each other at the same time.

8. You know what the other is thinking when conversing with crazy people.

9. You often look at each other and laugh without saying any words at all.

10. Your mannerisms are freakishly similar.

11. You see yourself becoming more and more like her every day...

12. ...but as much as you say you dread it, you know that there's no one else you'd rather take after.

So here's to mother-daughter pairs and years of more realizations that your mother is actually just the grown-up version of you.
