17 Bright Siders Who Xeroxed Themselves Into Their Kids and Thought No One Would Notice

More often than not, children are a perfect combination of both of their parents, but sometimes genetics does its magic and tips the scale one way or the other. It mostly comes down to prevalent genes, like red hair or blue eyes. That’s why in some cases, kids turn out looking like their mom’s or dad’s doppelgängers.

Many Bright Side readers submitted personal photos showcasing exactly this, and we made a special selection that’ll have you rubbing your eyes in disbelief.
