I believe--and I MAY be wrong--that The Oldest doesn't especially care to take after me. I tease her often that she's 'more like me than she thinks' and she doesn't say too much. It isn't a wonder that she WOULD be like me in many ways--after all, I DID raise her.
The other night, we were talking, and the new movie (remake) 'Karate Kid' came up in the conversation. She very adamantly said how she was boycotting the movie--"it is an abomination to the memory of the original." I really had to laugh because I boycotted 'Titanic' when it came out. (I'm not sure why, but I think it had to do with my dislike of the director--and probably had a lot to do with the hype surrounding it.) As if TWO people in this world boycotting anything makes a bit of difference. But, we both have done this over and over again, for different reasons. We did have to laugh--we ARE more alike than either one of us wants to admit.
