    I once saw a guy and thought it was somebody else. But he saw me coming, and came over, thinking I was someone else too.

    It would be something if those two guys met.

    I was walking down a pedestrian mall in my area one day, and a person walked past just in my peripheral vision. I instinctively turned and laid my hand on her arm, thinking, “If I’m wrong she’s gonna deck me.” Turned out to be who I thought it was…a friend I thought was 300 miles away. Her mom was with her and later said, “You should have seen both your faces, it was a treat!”

    There’s something about my face….
    All my life I’ve been taken for other people, even other nationalities….


    I’ve had so many perfect strangers walk up and say “Nancy!” or “when did you get back?”… or start speaking Italian, or Russian….


    About 20 years ago, on a rather dark street in San Francisco, a guy walking past suddenly grabbed me by the arm and hugged me…

    I screamed!
    He backed up and started saying “No no, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”….totally embarrassed.
    Oops.

    Charlie, I don’t like to tattle….

    but Leo and BobCat seem to have taken the whole weekend off…..
    and apparently without your permission!


    They’re so lucky to have nepotism on their side.

    While in line at my college canteen I overheard two Asian guys talking. One of them said to the other, “I don’t know. All hippies look alike to me.”

    A few years later I was walking down the street in the same college town when a small child pointed at me and started yelling, “Daddy! Daddy!” Her mom said, “No honey, that’s not Daddy” but the kid kept pointing and insisting that I was.

    (I wasn’t)

    Reminds me of back in the 70s I was downtown and there was a young man with long, wavy hair and beard. A little girl about 3 ran up to him smiling and said, “Hello, Jesus! Why did you make it rain yesterday?” After the initial double-take, he replied gently, “Oh, the flowers needed a drink of water!”

    They say we all have a twin somewhere in the world.
