“It’s funny,” M. said, as we sat around the dinner table a few days after Christmas, “you don’t look alike, but you’re unmistakably sisters.”
“Is it the shape of our heads?” I suggested. “Our smiles?”
“No,” he replied. “I think it’s entirely your mannerisms.”
“So we’re alike in person, but not in photos?” I asked.
“You don’t think mannerisms come across in photos?” he countered.
And then everyone laughed because everyone knows we have a certain “Sherman girl pose” always at the ready at the first sight of a camera. (Tilt of the chin, twinkle in the eye.)
And then Gena took out her camera and we demonstrated, with M.’s help.
(His needs a little work, but it’s getting there.)
