As soon as a baby is born, all the aunties start the never-ending debate whether the newborn took after mom or dad. But sometimes no discussions about the family genes are needed. Sometimes it looks like the kid is totally a doppelganger of one of the parents. Or a genius time traveler.
Bored Panda has compiled a list of kids and parents photographed at the same age, looking like twins and definitely supporting the old fable - like father, like son (or daughter, of course). Are you a clear look-alike of your mom or dad, too? Upload your side-by-side comparisons, we'd love to see it!

My Father Passed When I Was 4, But People Always Told Me That I Looked Like Him
ShaudaySmith 9 years ago
well, both of theirhair styles are just plain majestic. but i dont know if they look too similar. maybe the ages are off i think the son's features are way more refined..

Sad that you lost your father at 4 but it must be a comfort to your mom to see her husband in you. You're both very handsome!! --- (And to the idiots who said all Asians look alike - their features are distinctive as anyone else's. I can easily pick out in a family which parent the adult children take after and I'm white myself.)

Back in the 1900s, smoking was very popular and no one thought it could actually kill you. My dad is 63 years old, born 1953. Ask him.

I am 19 and when I was 13, B612 didn't exist. At that time there were the forst smartphones and they were so expensive that only rich people could afford them. The available apps were doodle jump and maybe fruit ninja but not b612. Selfies were taken in front of the mirror. Then at 13 it was impossible for me, a 19 years old person, to take such a photo. Your mother may be younger than me then; and I doubt that she had a child at 5.

The complexity of family dynamics, especially when emotions run deep, can significantly impact how children perceive family milestones.
When looking at how some children might physically resemble their parents, as seen in these remarkable twins of a sort, the deeper emotional ties are what truly tether them to their family's narrative. Just as physical likeness can be a point of reflection, emotional connections often highlight familial bonds in unexpected ways.
