Like Brother, Like Son

Since we were both little boys, people have thought my brother and I were twins.  Even though we're two years apart (and I'm much more handsome).  But I just don't see it.  I mean, yeah, we both have dark hair and dark eyes.  But beyond that, I think we're pretty distinguishable from each other.  I am clearly wrong in that assessment, however.  Because we each get called the other's name at least once a month.  My mom couldn't say one name without the other right behind it.  In fact, I heard other people do it so much, that I've actually called him "Taylor" on a few occasions.

Well one of the things that's weird about having a doppelganger brother is that my kids look a lot like their uncle.  And that's a little creepy.  In fact, they even act like him sometimes.  And make the same facial expressions I remember seeing him make as a kid.  Here's a good example.  My brother is on the left and my son is on the right. 


How creepy is that?! It's the exact same pose!  And they're both doing something weird with their left hand! And this wasn't staged!  Does this mean my son is going to end up like my brother?  He's gonna graduate high school early and drive a Firebird?  He's gonna be 6 foot 5 and wear size 15 shoes?!  Actually, now that I think about it, that would be kinda awesome.  He could be my body guard when I'm older.
