Everyone has a twin in the world that most of us never meet. Like me, I have one that is 2 years younger than I am. She was going to the same school as me when I lived in Japan. I had second lunch, she had first. A lunch lady was constantly accusing me of skipping class and having 2 lunches. She also had a class next to mine one hour before I had mine. I never got to meet this person but she was in the same building as me. I was always trying to see her, but since I don't look at myself all the time, she could have walked past me hundreds of times.
Aside from the universal twin, everyone has a someone they are like, either in looks or in personality. Whether it is a friend, somebody someone knows, or a family member. People will say ... Hey you act just like so and so. Or you look like your grandmother. I have my grandmothers jutty chin. Or so says my mother. I hear it frequently. I am always getting people saying that I am like someone they know, or used to know. I never get to meet these people it is nice that my persona is contagious. I don't even know you and you have contracted the PSYKO disease.
Personally I think I am almost an image of my mother. Not in looks because I am much taller and I have natural dirty blonde hair. But in other aspects I am a carbon copy. People even confuse us on the phone. She and I are both highly talkative. We will strike up a conversation with a random person anywhere. We both play with kids while were waiting in line. We provide our husbands with meals daily. We hate people coming over to the house unannounced. Housework is done daily ( well for me I pick up things here and there but actually do the house on my day off). Only go out when our husbands take us with them. Have a weak immune system that cause us get sick easily. Migraines are genetic on my moms side. We will go all out for someone for nothing in return. We will give gifts of love or whatever and not expect anything back. (Though we both would like a thank/love you gift). My mother will make snacks for everyone at my fathers work. I will buy snacks and share with as many as I can. My mother and I will lend an ear or a shoulder to everyone who wants it.
My mother is an awesome cook. I have not yet acquired that talent. I do cook fairly well though. My mother will lay out my fathers clothes the day before. I know if I do that he will still put on what he wants to wear or forget I have even layed something out. My mother will keep in contact with all her kids and then pass around the information to everyone else. I don't spend allot of time on the phone so she can keep doing it... she's good at it. My mother has medical issues and is prone to breaking stuff. I have only broken my wrist and gotten a hair line fracture on my pinky toe. (Was in "The Boot" for our 1 year anniversary). When she is having an issue she will make sure everyone knows about it. I will tuff it out til it gets me hospitalized. My mother will not discuss with my father when he does something that just bugs her, but she will tell everyone else. I will hold it in til I can't take it anymore. She likes to watch reality shows and cooking shows. I am more into the action/comedy.
As you can see we have our differences too. I will get into my husbands activities so that we can spend more time together. I will work hours on end being sick, or in pain, until I am crippled. I will talk back to my husband, and to my boss.
But you see my husband is like my father is SOME areas. My mother says that I married my father. At times I can see it. It is funny too, cause when I make a comment, on that fact, he will attempt to change it, it hardly ever works. My father is not all that bad he just needs to learn how to make people happy. My father had a hobby with trains, my husbands is snakes. Now my father spends all his time on the computer ( now regretting I gave him that damn computer), pulling songs from his cd's and making them compilations. My husband is on the computer from wake to sleep unless he is watching shows that he has recorded or snake hunting. My father is not capable of doing stuff on his own. If my mother was to leave for awhile he would do what my husband does. He would eat out every night and take his dirty clothes to a family member. I guess when my mother and father first met he was really skinny, well my husband is really thin. So maybe I did marry my father.
So I am like my mother. That is not so bad. Everyone will grow up to be something like one of their parents whether they want to or not. I am just happy I got the good parts.
