It's funny to me when you start to see the resemblances you have to family members without even realizing it. One person I have come to realize I am very much alike is my father, Bill.
For this to make sense, let me tell you about some of the more funny resemblances.
I went to dinner with my family but we drove two separate vehicles. We were going to go look at some Christmas lights together afterwards so we met in a different parking lot so I could drive along (and not get my truck hit in the psychotic Buffalo Wild Wings parking lot). My mom rode with me to go park. As we got to the mall parking lot I didn't see my dad's truck yet, so I headed to where I usually park at (I am a creature of habit). All of a sudden my mom starts pointing to a different area of the parking lot, saying I should go park over there, it'll be much easier, and that's where she normally parks. I shook my head because I was driving and that was not where I was going to park. I kept going my original way and pulled right into a spot next to none other than my dad. Now my mom is the one shaking her head saying "you're just like your father, you two think exactly alike."
Every pay check I budget my money out, down to the exact penny. When it comes time to pay at the store I also, obviously, will most likely have my money counted out and ready, down to the last penny. Sometimes my mom will ask, why do you need this exact amount, just round up. Well in my head I have everything EXACTLY planned out and changing it by a few cents would throw all of my plans into mass chaos. There is someone else in my life who also uses this exact same process when it comes to money and paying. You guessed it, my father.
Often times when I catch myself doing something weird like a weird voice or strange little dance, I think to myself "thanks dad". He will often walk by the living room when we are all sitting watching tv and stop to share a new jingle he has come up with as well as the accompanying dance, which is always quite hilarious.
I always find it a little funny as well when people say, "You look just like your dad!", meaning I must look like an older, man. 🤔😅
