Mini-Me

Like sire, like scion.

And as we know it today, like father like son. Well, i'm not a son... and I'm nothing like my dad... But I guess I could manipulate this proverb to fit myself, however, with me being similar to my aunt, Donna.

My aunt is in her mid-fourties now, but we have so much in common. She was the oldest child, just like me. Both of us are/were irritated by younger siblings. My aunt also attended Apollo High School, and guess where I'm sitting right now... If you look at a picture of Donna in high school, and me right now, there's a major similarity, being as we both have light blonde hair and big eyes. Also, in high school, Donna was an eaglette... and I'm a cheerleader, so we were both involved in school spirit.

As far as her personality today and its similarites to mine, there are quite a few to list. She loves to read, as do I. She loves to have a structured schedule, and so do I. She also loves to be around people... but not too much. Guess who feels the same way? She loves travel and try new things... It scares ME how much we're alike.

When I was younger, I was always called mini-me, just because of how much I was like her even in my younger years. And honestly, I take that as a compliment. I love my aunt's personality.

And to this day, when I'm called "Mini-Me", i just ...smile because it happened.
