There's nothing wrong with being a daddy's girl. Our dads are our heros, mentors, and first men in our lives. Dads are there to provide for us, teach us, and show us unconditional love. So, it's perfectly normal for us to want to emulate the qualities that make ours dads so great. Sometimes we take on their qualities without even realizing it. I know I did. Growing up, I was use to friends and family telling me how much I reminded them of my mother. What they didn't realize was how much I should have reminded them of my father. Just the other day I saw a family friend who told me I was my mother's reincarnation. My immediate response: "Well I have my dad's personality." There's nothing wrong with being like your father, in fact it can be a great thing. Here's five ways that prove that you are your father's daughter:
1. You look like him
This is an obvious one, but looks don't always mean genetics like hair color, eye color, or even having similar noses. Looks also include facial expressions, mannerisms, and gestures. If you and your dad roll your eyes at similar things or use the same hand gestures when telling a story that speaks as many volumes as sharing his fair skin or green eyes. I have my dad's eyes, his nose (I think), and we totally make faces at the same things. Also, we both wear glasses (but that might not count).
2. You have similar interests
Did you join the basketball team because you loved practicing with your dad? Or maybe you started learning the guitar because he played as a kid? Sharing similar interests and hobbies with your father will only strengthen your bond and show how much alike you are. Parents can also influence preferances such as your favorite food, music taste, what TV shows you watch or what books you read (at least when you're growing up). My dad and I both love coffee a little too much and listen to classic rock.
3. You have the same sense of humor
My dad and I laugh at the same stuff. Most of the time it's stuff my mother and brother just don't understand, but we think it's hilarious. Also, sometimes I'll tell my friends a joke that I learned from my dad and realize "Wow that's something my dad would say." When you realize you share a sense of humor, it can be a little scary but you learn to embrace it.
4. Your mom can't stop talking about how much you two are alike
My mom's favorite response to anything I say or do is, "You are just like your dad" or "That's something your dad says." If you find your mother (or any other family member) saying similar phrase, then you and your father are more alike than you thought.
5. You're his favorite daughter
It doesn't matter that you might be his only daughter (if you don't have sisters). I know for a fact that I'm my dad's favorite daughter. Sometimes I like to think I'm his favorite child, because I secretly am.
Sometimes you have to own the fact that you are most definitely your father's daughter.
