Pics of your daughter
or it didn't happen...

As she posts here
I will leave that up to her. Suffice to say that she's about to be 16, is rather tall with long blonde hair and greenish eyes, and looks enough like me that I wouldn't have thought anyone would make such a mistake. Especially as there's a 30 year gap in our ages.

Does she have the impressive beard as well? :P
I think it's quite funny that the mistake gets made this way round. I can see people's young trophy girlfriends being mistaken for daughters, but why, if you saw a couple of the ages of you and your daughter, would your first assumption be that they were a couple?!

Reveals some bias of the person making the mistake, I reckon... Maybe the vet has a 90 year old sugar daddy.

No beard
but she does have a smaller version of the bump in my nose.

Me, I don't see a great resemblance, but others do and comment on it often. I think it might be more a matter of facial expressions and mannerisms. In any case, I thought that the resemblance was enough that this wouldn't really be a question. The closest we've come to this before was a cashier asking me if she was my younger sister- which also freaked her out and made me laugh.

The poor kid. I suspect that it took her mind in directions that she'd just as soon not have gone. I mean, we're very close and she's very aware that I've had girlfriends, but combining the two is just plain wrong...

I probably shouldn't have laughed.
