I Get That A lot
When I was little, being an identical twin, I always heard, "You look just alike". When we got older, we automatically assumed that we didn't look as identical. (Actually, we really don't...she's the skinny twin :) Yet, we get stared at quite often.
In spite of having a twin, I have had people come up to me and say, "You know who you look like?" Let's see...I've been told I look like Clair Huxtable, Wanda Sykes, and one of the cashiers from the grocery store. In fact, many times, I've had conversations with people who say, "Girl, I haven't seen you in a long time! Where you been?"
My reply? "I'm not sure who you think I am but I'm not her."
Then, they'd reply, "You look JUST like her!"
One day, I had someone come up to me and punch me in the arm. (It hurt too.) She said, "So, don't say hi!"
I looked at her and said, "Hi??" (Interpretation...I have no clue who you are.)
Her response: "Don't you be playing with me. You know who I am."
I kept a blank look on my face and said, "Actually, I don't."
I decided to stop the madness before she punched me again. I told her, "I'm a twin so more than likely, you know my twin sister."
The light came on and she said, "Oh, sorry for hitting you. I didn't know she was a twin."
I made a mental note to tell my sister that the next time someone punches me in the arm for mistaken identity, I get to give it right back to her. :)
Do you have a twin, a look alike? Do you reply, "I get that a lot?"

Do you have a twin, a look alike? Do you reply, "I get that a lot?"

Sweetie I didn't know you were a twin. How exciting/at least you always had someone to play with your own age. I think that it would be fun to have a twin, not the getting punched part tho.
Sadly, no, I have never been told I have a twin, or even that I look like someone they know. I can't say I have experienced that.
Have a beautiful day sweetie, and I know you must be the cute one right? Country hugs sweetie, Sherry
In lower Delaware, there are apparently many middle-aged, tall, wide women with short hair who look just like me. Poor girls!
I do hear quite frequently that I look like someone. I must have a common look about me!
I must say that I agree you remind me of Wanda Sykes. =)
I've only been told a few times that I look like someone but more often than not I hear, "Oh you're the lady with two sets of twins" which makes me wonder if maybe there's another lady in town with 2 sets also because I don't know half the people that say that to me!

A few times I've been told I looked like someone but in each case I was a mess at the time and felt sorry for my alleged "twin"!
Have a great day CCD.

I did one time at a fast food restaurant have someone swear they just say my performance at a Branson show. No matter how hard I tried I could not convince the couple it was not me!
Have a wonderful day!
I am often mistaken for someone else -- I think I have one of those faces that is similar to others and have often been taken for someone else...I'd love to meet these other people and see how close the resemblance really is!!
