They say that at any given point in time, you have seven different people on this Earth that look just like you. That’s seven different lives seen from the same eyes, seven doppelgängers, if you will. People go far and wide to find their so-called lookalikes, but, luckily for me, however, I don’t have to look that far because I look just. Like. My. Mom.
I’m serious- it’s not one of those things where people see my family and go, “Oh wow, I really see the resemblance!” My senior pictures are the spitting image of my mama when she was my age. Below are 9 things I always get, and so do you, because we look just like our moms.
1. Being mistaken for her when you have sunglasses on and a messy bun.
Add a tote bag over your shoulder and the people at the grocery store will swear up and down you're your mom. Seriously, look at my ID- we have different names and 25 years apart.
2. Knowing that you'll be a smoke show when you're forty because, duh, your mama has got it going on.
This one might be the best of them all. No matter how bad of a day you have, you'll be hot 20 years from now so why care?
3. Your great-grandma calling you by your mom’s name all the time.
This one's forgivable, however. I'd call me by her name, too, if I was 94 and had fading eyesight. Close enough.
4. "Oh, your so and so’s daughter, aren’t you?” and having no idea who the person is.
A bit creepy when you think about it, but now, I'm just used to it.
5. You hear “You look just like your mom!” at least twice a day.
We already know this, but thanks for saying it again in case we forgot.
6. Confusing baby pictures of her with baby pictures of you.
Although the 1970s clothes should give it away, your faces are so similar you thought photoshop had something to do with it.
7. Knowing you’ll look good with a perm if you ever feel the need to get one.
1980s at its best, obviously. But fashion tends to come back around so, hey, who knows. I'm wearing vans and mom jeans like its the 60s.
8. People ask if you two are sisters on the daily.
This one gets your mama feelin' real good about herself.
9. You sometimes go out with your mom and dad and people don’t know which one he’s married to.
Talk about awkward. On one hand, your dad looks like hot shit. On the other, people think you could be married to your dad, and that it's NOT okay.
