> Some people have asked me if my brother and I were twins (we're three years apart) but the best was when I went to pick my brother up from football practice and one of his teammates asked me if I was his dad.

Heeheehee! My sisters and I have the same problem. We're seven, 19, and 30, so I've been mistaken for my little sister's mother, and my big sister has been mistaken for both my mother and my little sister's mother.

I hate it because usually when people mistake me for my little sister's mother, there's this overtone of, "You trampy teenage mom, you." My big sister hates being mistaken for our mom because she's 30 and starting to get absurdly depressed about being "old."
