Even his dad and I have trouble telling them apart. He gets down about it and I keep telling him that a year from now he will be both taller than me and that he will never again be mistaken for his sister on the phone. Not sure how much that is helping him NOW though.Leeannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529722995554495470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6995141851588869087.post-39055112601579031352010-08-25T07:13:20.110-06:002010-08-25T07:13:20.110-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Linnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09813312996970089854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6995141851588869087.post-74857218191653543322010-08-25T06:58:29.378-06:002010-08-25T06:58:29.378-06:00After all these years, I get mistaken for my two g...After all these years, I get mistaken for my two girls, tho its so evident to me when I hear their voices there is a definite diff...

There were two women at my counter - one about 20 and the other was A LOT older. When the older one decided to pay for both purchases, I said "Wow, you have a nice Mom". Opps! Apparently the older one was her sister...a very older looking one, but nonetheless, her sister and did I ever wish the ground had opened up. Yikes! There was no graceful way out of that one :0)Marniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17665195341597783253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6995141851588869087.post-25224826138917390822010-08-24T20:51:16.687-06:002010-08-24T20:51:16.687-06:00It could have been worse.
