I heart beets

James and I often get "you look just like ___". There's always someone who grew up with someone "who looks just like you." It sometimes get annoying.

And if we are compared to celebrities: I most often get told I look like Jamie Lee Curtis and James gets either Chandler from Friends, or Pacey from Dawson's Creek. All of which I can see a small resemblance.



But Saturday night took the CAKE!


We headed up to ol' college country (Oklahoma) for a friend's birthday. While at dinner a new acquaintance; which we now can assuredly peg as socially awkward; points at James and says, "I've been trying to figure out all night who you look like: Dwight Shrute!"

Crickets.

No one knew whether to laugh or not. And sadly, the guy was totally serious and continued to repeat it again later in the evening. The only good thing is that James took it like a champ and let everyone at the table know that he too was a big fan of beets. Which may be why they resemble each other so much.
Later once the weird guy left (not James, the other one) we all had a good laugh about it. And reassured James that he was not even close to resembling the creepiest dude on primetime television.
