Okay, I think this is a little bizarre although my husband is just shaking his head. (Come to think of it, he does that a lot around me.) Anyway, my daughter is down for Thanksgiving and brought one of her guy friends over. (What is the term for a guy your daughter is dating but isn't exclusive with? I mean, besides 'lucky' because hey, my daughter is pretty special.) The bizarre thing is that I think he looks eerily like one of my old boyfriends, Stuart, who is currently featured on my website (because I haven't gotten around to updating it to reflect that I have a new book out.)
Hmmm. There is probably a plot idea brewing about all of this. (Which is why teenagers are so valuable. If you want to write, a teenager is a must.)
The second bizarre thing--which an observant commenter pointed out and which I hadn't realized until I'd already posted the blog--is that yes, my daughter and I are standing in the exact same position. No, that wasn't posed for effect. She even has the same head tilt and smile. Which obviously means, dear daughter: THAT HE IS ABOUT TO DUMP YOU FOR JESSIE LIPE!
Not that any of this is making me relieve those early years . . .

That is spooky!
But you're right, there's your next book.
That is really weird. He's a cute boy, and I agree that he's lucky to be able to hang out with Asenath.
Striking resemblance.
I don't know that I'd do well if one of my daughers showed up with a boy who looked like an ex. I'd get the heebie-jeebies.
Very funny ;)
So does this mean her taste is good or bad?
oh wow! That is seriously bizarre, and yeah he's a cutie! life is stranger than fiction on every level.
That is scary.(Did you stage that photo because the positions look awflly alike...)
I've met a lot of people who look like other people I know, I just haven't met my "twin."
Everyone is suppposed to have a twin, maybe their each others twins, "the people who say everyone has a twin" never did say that they had to be the same age...
What if you don't have a teenager, but are one?
YEah, nerd goddess has a point there... Hmmm...Spooky... And what does Asenath have to say about this?
Being a teenager works just as well. It's all about the drama.
And Asenath has good taste of course!
Janette, I really think you're on to something here. Seriously!

I just added this to my blog to address the point you made, Smithy Smith.

Another bizarre thought: does this mean she'll have found her future husband when she starts dating someone who looks like *your* hubby?
like Mother like daughter
Just thought I'd add my 2 cents:
1.) Yes, I think it's a little bit weird. Usually Mom lives vicariously through me...not the other way around...
2.) Yes, he is lucky to hang out with me ;)
I can just hear the plots brewing! Freaky Friday!
Hey, I think your husband is much better looking than that guy who dumped you. And I bet that guy who dumped you is sorry now!
ha, ha, ha. That is hilarious, and he does look just like stuart. yikes!
This is obviously very dated, but I found great entertainment in browsing your blog. And now for my comment: *ahem*
That is possibly one of the creepiest shirts I have ever seen (the one your daughter is wearing), because the two people on it look exactly like my mother and father. No joke. They look EXACTLY like them. Now I must get that shirt.
