Random non clicky poll: Your family

Who do you look like more in your family? Mom? Dad? Grandparent? Mail man? Wink

I'm pretty evenly split between my parents, but I really, really look my grandma (on my mom's side.) 

If you look at a pic of her in her 20's and a pic of my in my 20's it's really similar.

And, I have a little cousin who's 8 years old  who looks exactly like me when I was 8. It's super creepy! My mom was showing me some pictures of her and I thought it was me for a second!

Re: Random non clicky poll: Your family

  • Unfortunately it was my brother that got the looks of the mailman.

    I look like both my parents. When people see me with my mom, they swear I look like her, then if they see me with my dad, they change their minds. lol 

    My dad has seven sisters and in old pictures I look like a lot of them.

  • people say i look like my mom...i don't see it (other than we have the same teeth.....). but i was once stopped randomly by a stranger and asked if my mom works at X, because i looked just like her. i said "yes", and asked if she knew my mom, but she said "no", but she just came from there, and it was remarkable how much we look alike. i think she's crazy.

  • My sister and I always say we look like each other :)  And it's totally true, neither of us look as much like our parents as we do each other.  No idea how that works!
  • I think I'm an even split between my parents, but I look a lot like my brother.

  • My mother - no question. I had a teacher in junior high who used to accidentally call me by my mom's name ALL the time. In high school, I was flipping through an album and had to go back a page because I was confused...then I realized it was my MOM in her high school graduation gown, not me!  ((Secret, I really hope I look less like her as a I age though, she hasn't aged so well. Actually, saw my auntie this weekend and while all growing up they didn't look like blood, there is much more resemblance between them at this age.)

  • oh and this is really weird: my cousin (my mom's brother's daughter) looks exactly like my mom!  So, my sister and I don't look like my mom, but my cousin looks like her aunt (my mom).
  • I don't look like anyone, really... i looked a lot like one of my sisters growing up (and we sound almost identical in phone messages), but that's it.

  • i think i look more like my dad. but i think it's pretty even.

    sometimes i look in the mirror and see my mom and want to die.

  • I always used to think I looked more like my dad, but I see features from both of them.

    My mom has often said that the older I get, the more I look like her mom, especially when I smile.  (My grandmother died before my parents ever met, so I've only seen photos.)

    My niece (my brother's daughter) looked a LOT like me when she was really little.  Compare pics of me and her when we were both 2 or 3, and they're almost identical.  Now (she's 5), she's starting to look more like her mom, but she still looks a lot like me.
