While it’s a given that children will inherit the genes of their parents, hence the similarity in looks, there are normally enough differences to distinguish the two. However, there are just some mothers who just age so well that, when put side by side with their daughter, the pair could be mistaken for siblings!

Being mistaken as sisters may be quite flattering to the mother, but if you’re a guy who’s courting the daughter, that could just as easily land you in trouble with the girl.
