Mistaken Identity
Lately Alex & I have been video-conferencing with various relatives around the country; it’s a great way to keep in touch and seems to hold her attention longer than simply talking on the phone. A post on Facebook made me think of my ex-stepson, and I wondered if he had a webcam; since he’s moved away, Alex doesn’t get to see him as much as she used to. So I pulled up his mother’s profile on Facebook to ask her, and Alex pointed at the screen.
“Dardee!”
I laughed, because the resemblance is truly striking (I don’t think the X ever got over his first wife, personally), but I figured Alex would at least be able to tell the difference. I pulled the picture up larger and pointed.
“No, Alex, that’s P-Bug’s Mommy.”
“Dardee is P’s mommy?”
I laughed again… “Um, noooo…. P has a DIFFERENT mommy.”
“But that’s Dardee!”
I am *sure* she’d love to hear THAT. But I got a laugh out of it.
