Friday had been a minimum day (end of the first quarter). Ms. S and I checked out at the same time, and we were outside, chatting. (Ms. S is another sub who I see around all the time and I've worked with her before.)
We both had a last period prep, so school wasn't quite over. Students were standing outside waiting for rides. (Some students get out early.) We were comparing notes on various assignments. It turned out that the next week we'd be subbing for two co-teachers.
As we were talking, a mother walked past us. She looked so familiar to me. She nodded as she passed, but we didn't say anything to her, just continuing our conversation.
A few minutes later, the woman passed by again, going the other way. This time she had a student in tow. A girl I recognized as she had been in the class I covered that day.
Ms. S: "No wonder she looked so familiar..."
I didn't realize until that moment that Ms. S recognized her too. I commented that the girl had been in my class.
Why did she look so familiar? Her daughter looks just like her.
Deja vu?
ReplyDeleteGenetics.
DeleteThe apple doesn't fall far from the tree! I've always been told I look "just like my mom" and I really don't see it. Yeah, a little bit but not that obvious?! lol
ReplyDeleteI've recently discovered I have my mother's hands and feet. For better or for worse.
DeleteClones!
ReplyDeleteA neighbor across the street from me thought for the longest time that my daughter and I were the same person until he saw us both at the same time.
ReplyDeleteFunny.
DeleteMust be kind of an eerie feeling!
ReplyDeleteThe first time I like mother-in-law saw my son for the first time she burst into tears and said the baby look just like my husband at the same age.
ReplyDeleteFunny how that works. My eldest nephew now sounds exactly like my brother. (If one is talking behind me, I have to turn around to see who it is.)
