I've gotten used to the fact that my family all looks fairly similar. After all, I will always be the 'short' one due to everyone else being about a foot taller than me, so I can be unique. (special, just like everyone else!) What I have consistently failed to realize is that to anyone outside the family some of us are virtually indistinguishable.
In church with my sister Linnea, we were sitting behind a friend with her 2 little girls. One of the girls was staring back at us, going from Linnea, to me, back to Linnea with a look of concentration furrowing her brows. The reason for her scrutiny became apparent when she stage-whispered to her sister: "They're the SAME!" Linnea maintained her poker face, while I dissolved in laughter as the two little ones continued to stare at us freaks. It has continued to amuse me that we are each others doppelgänger. I am easily amused.
The question remains, which of us is the evil twin?
That's OK. Creed just said, "Aunt Naya and Cassie's mom!" I explained it was Noah's mom, aunt Joy-Joy and he was incredulous. So there you go :).
