Turning into yer Mum/Dad

[Nick]

Was discussing this last night  

I just checked my scar in the mirror and saw my Dad's face looking back at me.

All blokes know that when choosing a Mrs you have to check the Mum out carefully, as that's what she will end up looking like  

Mrs Nick's mum looks just like her   (or as she will be if she survives till 83  )

So, who looks like their Mum/Dad?

Guilty as charged (father)

Poor man if he looked/looks like you

Posted before but spooky and worth reposting


 

  I am the family face;
Flesh perishes, I live on,
Projecting trait and trace
Through time to times anon,
And leaping from place to place
Over oblivion.

The years-heired feature that can
In curve and voice and eye
Despise the human span
Of durance -- that is I;
The eternal thing in man,
That heeds no call to die

You tell me Nick ~You've met me enough times and this is my grandfather (paternal)

[Nick]

Skinny bugger, isn't he?

[Snoopy]

Yup and I'm not .................. but I am not the only one who could do with shedding a few pounds matey 

The picture dates from the 1930s and people were, in general, a lot slimmer back then ~ also he was a builder, which back then meant very much more manual labour than it does today.

I am turning into my dad 

[Snoopy]

My brother looks and sounds much more like our Dad. It is reckoned that I more closely resemble Mum ~ although she did not have a moustache.

Personally I can see both of them looking back out of the mirror.

That shouild be in the clairvoyance thread surely...?

Yes, I look more like my mum on good days. Weird innit?

[Snoopy]

Weird indeed.
I saw Grandfather (the one in the picture) the other morning as I was having my weekly "close shave" with an old fashioned "Straight Razor". He used to use a "cut-throat" and as I was wielding mine and twirling the usually drooping 'tache upward out of harms way I was stuck by the similarity.

[Nick]

You have me looking at grandfather pics now 

I look like both of them too in parts.

I got cut out of my rich aunt's will. (she was nuts)

She told me I had 'looked at her with my my father's eyes'. This when I was 12.

She must have had a grudge against him 

[The Moan Ranger]

I definitely look more like my mother, but I am more like my father in most ways.

My brother looks far more like my father but is more like my mother in most ways.
