My Dad always called me his "carbon copy." Growing up, he'd always show me off to his friends and tell them that i'd look just like him when I reach adulthood.
There were instances that really proved his point. One time, from out of nowhere, some guy walks up to me and asks: "Anak ka ba ni Egat?" And this was the first time I saw this guy! He turned out to be Dad's friend, and he identified me because I looked exactly like him. Then, there was this instance when I answered the door, the person outside looks at me for a few seconds and asks: "Egat?"
Dad and me have the same bushy eyebrows and face shape. One of our main differentations is that he has a moustache, and i've got a smooth face (most of the time, at least.) But today, I've decided to grow a moustache and a beard, just for kicks. I want to see if I'll really look like Dad when all factors are made equal.
