Too much time online. I am at my parents' house watching TV and suddenly my mother says, "Ooh, let me show you the photo of you, it's really quite scary!"
"What photo?" I say, slightly alarmed.
Ignoring me, she says to my dad, "Look at Melissa's profile, do you see it?"
I am panicking, oh my god she's found me on Facebook, when I realise.
She means the side view of my head.
The "photo" turns out to be a picture of my great-grandmother. Apparently I look a lot like her. I check out the picture and it's the spitting image of my grandmother (this woman's daughter). But then my mother has always insisted I look (and even walk) like my grandmother.
