What was she thinking?
You can find the answer here. I wish I could do it like a magazine quiz, and write the answer upside down. Because I think our society is upside down when I read this kind of stuff.
But I feel a little better when I realize this week in the news we also saw the flip side —the story of another British woman who also had a dream. Think I’ll watch that Susan Boyle video again….
I had to go through and read the whole article. Sheesh! Frankly, I don’t think they look alike at all. It’s the hair and the dress doing it. And the mother is either more photogenic or she’s actually better looking than her kid.
Their features are really different, I guess, but the whole thing creeps me out.
As Mrs. Castorini told her husband, “Cosmo, you’re gonna die.” We can fool the camera, the mirror, our friends, and, sometimes, ourselves, but we all die eventually. When the Grim Reaper is involved, “you can run, but you can’t hide.”
