Who am I like, again?

Similar Sire, Similar Scion

What a funky way to switch around "Like father, like son"! Sorry I just think it's cool how they're all s's and they just kind of roll off the tip of your tongue.

But anyways, what relative am I most like? Well of my parents, it's definately my mom. People just look at me and they're like, "Oh my gosh. You're Linda's girl aren't you? You look just like her." We both love crossword puzzles, reading books, and watching the very cheesy Hallmark movies. On a side note, I know that most people don't like cheesy-ness. But my mom and I just love them. We also react to things the same way. Like seriously, my dad has asked my mom a question and then asked me the same one later, and we give him the exact same look, tone, and choice of words. It's kinda scary. He always says that if one of us commits a crime then we're both going to jail because the DNA is so close.

But I also steal several traits from my dad, even if they're random. When I watch TV or read a book, I like to stretch out my legs and cross my ankles and my pinky toes. I know that sounds weird like what planet are you from, but I just do it. Our faces are long and angular, and I also inherited his teeth which, unfortunately, meant that I had to get a pallette expander. Another random feature is that when we smile, we lose our eyes, or they look like "sunshine eyes". We both love sports and can play almost every one out there. But perhaps my favorite trait is our loud voices that can be heard miles away.

Now with four brothers and sister, I'm not going to tell you everyway we're alike and different, but I'll try to give you the run through:

• My sister has been my hero for as long as I can remember. I wanted to walk, talk, and dress like her because she was the epitomy of cool in my book. She's a great sport, hanging with a sister nearly four years younger who looks older than she does. When we went to the airport the ticket person waved her through and said that he didn't need to see the ID of people under 16. To this I replied, "Well, they asked to look at mine..." Oops.
• Ethan and I are definately the most analytical in our house, paying attention to detail and having things a certain way. We both love reading and learning about new things so we can play quick recall and be the best.
• Austin is like my twin born 18 months late. We look alike, talk alike, and sometimes Mom says he is the male version of me. Also known as my ShaBa, (sharing buddy, ask later), we have so many inside jokes that everyone looks at us really funny. What's even better is that while some people think we are twins (because we obviously look alike), we've been mistaken for boyfriend and girlfriend before...kind of awkward.
• And finally Jared, the affectionately called "little blonde kid". He's loud, attention-demanding, and a natural born entertainer. I would say that he and I are the most different. But I remember when he was three and I was the only one who could understand him. I was like his older sister protector who knew exactly what he needed and could get it for him. So I think we'll always have that bond together, no matter how much we get on each other's nerves.

That's really long, but I had too many people to compare to, and I didn't even include my dog, Lexie!
