I just remember going out with you and Ara and cashiers thinking that you were Ara's mom, while I was a family friend. XD The two of you used to have really similar hair! XD
Oh right, I remember that! I am now realizing that people give hair disproportionate weight when judging relatedness, which is absolutely hilarious given that we could only be born with our current hair if we were anime heroines.
I'm sure the hair is a big part of it. When my sister and I both had longish dark hair, people always asked if we were twins. Then, for a while, I shaved my hair down to buzzcut-length -- and suddenly everyone assumed we were either friends or lesbians. XD
when my wife and I both had long red hair we got mistaken for sisters a lot. Although the co-worker who saw a picture of her on my cubical wall and asked if she was my mother did not get much sympathy from me OMG. There's ten years between us, sure, and the co-worker wasn't previously aware I was queer, but mother???
When one of my friends was pretending to be my fiancee (so I'd have a medical advocate who'd be taken more seriously) we had the same thing happen TWICE. She is a little older than me but not that much and in no way looks like she could be my mom, so I don't know what those doctors were smoking.

Person at counter says to me, as Calluna walks off, "So what's it like, being a twin?"
I literally look around to see who she's talking to, until it sinks in it's me.
(The best part about this is that this was in our local thrift store, whose proceeds go to AIDS Action.)
