Well Kevwood, I would say you look like a little angel. But you did say you'd changed!
 ;D

Don't know if I'm doing this right - if I have then this is what I look like. If not you'll see a load of gobbledegook (Perhaps that IS what I look like!)


Yippee! It works!

My mum recently found some old photos and two of them were of my cousin about 2 years old and one of my brother about 2 years old, therefore about 5 years between the pics being taken.  Both on the beach in the sea, and without my mum telling me, I wouldn't have been able to tell them apart.

They don't look alike now, but they certainly did then.  Funny thing is their mums were twin sisters!

I look just like my dad, but a couple years ago my mom gave me a pic of her mom when she was little and we looked exactly a like at that age, so I came to the conclusion that my parents were related. And my dad always said we were McCluskys through and through and then at my uncle's funeral the other side was there (Connollys) and boy, we all looked a like.

My son is a true mix of my husband and I but my daughter I really think looks like one of my brothers and a niece, who all look like my great-grandmother, the smallest girl in the picture on the right of my profile. (I'm sure you can't really see it.) Funniest thing: my brother is an identical twin, but my daughter and niece (who belongs to the other twin) look more alike.

About ten years ago my sister-in-law gave me a picture of her 3-year-old daughter and me in their pool and you would swear she was a mini-me.

Strong genes I guess.

I'm the spitting image of my Mum, although this wasn't the case when I was younger.  I had very straight hair which has now started to go curly like my Mums, I find this quite bizarre  :o

Per my parents I look like my paternal great grandfather. I supposedly have his mannerisms too .... not sure if that is good or bad though.

Up till I was about 5, I was the image of my mother at the same age - then I looked like my maternal grandmother.  Now, I don't seem to look like any of them!

I have my fathers height, my mother's build, my aunts eyes (even down to the poor sight in the left eye!!).

I don't think I look like my great great gran (see profile picture)
