young david



Everyone who meets Tom thinks he looks 'just like his mother'. I had a feeling that somehow this wasn't quite true, so I searched for an old photo of myself, taken at 18 months. Of course I have no recollection of the time or place or persons, those details being long forgotten or buried deep within. But I had remembered the photo was once in a frame in my childhood room and I had this strange inkling that Tom and I looked uncannily alike.

Sure enough, when I put the photo up on the wall for casual perusal everyone actually thought it was a photo of Tom, though they were puzzled by the age and dog-earedness of the snap.

So there you go, one up for heredity.
