Pluggers by Rick McKee for March 11, 2021

in a male plugger’s case, his father

Every generation’s fate is to turn into their parents…

“Don’t worry, Ma! I’ll find someone to help, like that guy from that ‘Twilight Zone’ episode!”

I just wonder how a handsome bear got in there. Yeah, big deal if I gots white hair. So does George Clooney.

At least you don’t look like your grandma yet.

That’s OK. My mom was a wonderful person. I try to measure up.

Well most Pups do look like their parents ;-)

I actually started looking like my (paternal) grandpa when I was only 16. Was accosted by a stranger (to me) and asked if I was “Chaz’s” son. Was already starting to go bald by then. I’m 78 now and look more like him than ever.

It’s even worse when you open your mouth and your mother fall out.

Could be worse; I’m looking more like my Grandma every day, as in my Father’s Mom! I am now convinced my Grampa took one look at his baby granddaughter & thought he’d never be without his beloved Beatrice, as long as his granddaughter was alive!

I look in the mirrour and am always surprised at how I feel significantly younger than I look.. been working out in the weather for too long I guess :D

Pluggers watch the Progressive Insurance commercials and wonder if they’re being spied on.

Sometimes I think I see one of my brothers in the mirror

or hear one of them when I talk (especially if I’ve been recorded).

… They’re fine … but still … yikes.

I look like my older brother,may he rest in peace, even his kids think so.

No I don’t. She’s with me everyday w/o looking in the mirror.

My mom, my daughter and I all look amazingly about 1 generation apart. LOL My mom is 87, I look exactly like she did in her mid 60s (which I am) and my daughter looks exactly like me and my mom in our early 40s (which she is). If you compare pictures of us at the same ages, it is almost impossible to tell us apart.

I’m still at the point where I look in the mirror in the morning and wonder how Doc from Back to the Future got there. The lack of haircuts has not helped.

I’ll never be confused for my Dad; my Granddad definitely, but not my Dad…..

I look at my driver’s license and wonder why they put my GRANDmother’s picture on there.

When I was in my 20s and 30s, I would go be visiting home and people would tell me that I look just like my father, George — and others would tell me I look just like my mother, Mary. Which was hard to do because she had brown hair and brown eyes and he had blond hair and green eyes. What was really depressing were the ones who told me I was the spitting image of my grandmother on my mom’s side. My mom was adopted. I still don’t know who I actually look like, but on my annual visits to my home town for Memorial Day, people still recognize me as George’s or as Mary’s girl (I’m in my 70s), but they don’t remember my name.

According to my mother, (may she rest in peace) when I was brought in so that she may see me for the first time, she laughed because I looked like her! ;o)

I WISH I looked more like my mother did. Even when pregnant, she never weighed more than 145 lb. I take more after my paternal aunt, though I’m not nearly as “well-rounded” as she was. (My dad, her brother, was always slender, too, so not sure where I got derailed, lol).
