Are You Turning into Your Mother?


Imitation is the best form of flattery, so it's no surprise you mirror your mother's knack for treating others well. Maybe you and your mom don't share identical style or taste, but when it comes to who you are deep down, apples don't fall far from the tree.


Whether you're playing matchmaker with a friend, wiping the schmutz off a kid's face, or bringing chicken noodle soup to a sick coworker, you've learned to look out for others' best interests. Kind and caring, you've inherited all of your mom's classic values — whether you like it or not. Good thing mother knows best!
I thought this was kind of fun. I fought for years and years that I was anything like my mom. But of course now there's no greater compliment than to be told I'm like her. And yes, I do see so many things that she did that I now do. I sing the same song while opening the blinds. I always have to have music playing while I clean like she did. I cough like her. My way of thinking is just like hers. I daydream a little too much like her (especially when riding in a car). I need to have the seam in my socks lined up just right like she did, etc. etc. It's kind of fun seeing the similarities. How about you guys? How are you like your moms?

And can I add.....Hallelujah! The 14 day challenge is over. And I had a flawless record!!!!

I would say that I share my mom's love of laughter. I usually hear my mom laugh the hardest when she's talking with her sisters, and I'm the same way.

And Leesh, these 2 weeks have flown by so fast with the help of all your fantastic blogging that I think you should just keep going with the daily posts! C'mon!

Oh, how little you know about me. If I'm given a challenge, I'm in it to win it.

I knew you would be able to make it the entire 2 weeks. That is one of those on time/OCD things we share in common. There was no way we weren't going to make it! BTW -from the quiz, I inherited my mom's funny bone. The paragraph it gave really was perfect. It does sum up my relationship with my mom. I have no problem being like her, she's great in a lot of ways!!

Your mom was great. I remember going to the emergency room with Bailee when Bai was little. I was so scared and there was your mom. She totaly calmed me down and was a sorce of light in a dark time. Yes you do remind me of her!

That is so funny that you did a post about being like your mom. I was going to post a tag just like that because my sister and I always say we never wanted to be like my mom but we laugh at the similarities. I think I will still do that post.
