During my sister-in-law's engagement party this past weekend (more on that later), a family member noticed a baby picture cut out from a magazine hanging on my bulletin board. She zoned in on this one scrap of paper buried under a mountain of school notices, invitations, business cards, and kiddie artwork. She wondered who the child was. He looked familiar, but not completely.
That's when my husband explained how I had flipped through a People Magazine a few years ago and nearly suffered a heart attack when I saw a picture of my son Jack in the publication. But it wasn't Jack. It was actually a baby photo of rapper Eminem. At the time, Jack was his spitting image with the same curly blond hair and impish grin.
Joe's cousin marveled at the similarities and posted a picture on Facebook. I could probably find more pics where the likeness is even more evident, but I'm just too lazy to go through all the photo albums. Hence, I defer to cousin Peg's original photograph:
Let's just hope my sweet Jack doesn't have the same mommy issues as Eminem. Perhaps I ought to ease up on all these music lessons after all?
love it! I also clipped out random photos from magazines of boys that happened to look like Tall. (have not seen any model kids that look like Short however) Tall had a mop of cascading curls that I was wary to cut for fear they would not grow back in. I was right. It is weird when you see a child in a photo and he could be your kid's twin. :)

Luckily none of your boys look like Eminem now. Yuck. Hope you had a fun party!
ReplyDeleteHa! Too cute. I really like Eminem. Is it embarrassing for a grown woman to admit that?
ReplyDelete(And also, I LOVE your blogger avatar. We used to call the fisher price people "Guys", as in "Let's play with the Guys!". I thought that was their official name until well into adulthood.)
I like Eminem too.
ReplyDeleteMarianne just don't ever let him 'Clean out his closet'...
MOV - it broke my heart when Jack got his little curls snipped, never to be seen again. ):
ReplyDeleteAli - Here's hoping! And thanks!
Stephanie - It's not embarassing, I've got a couple of CDs in the minivan that I have turn down the volume as certain words come up. We called Little People "guys," too! I like to line them up and look at them. Does that make me crazy? Don't answer that.
Julie - HA!!
