Yesterday the kids were riding those coin rides outside the library. An older Singaporean gentleman snuck up behind me and said over my shoulder, "Take picture! Very nice!" I wasn't sure if he was offering some kind of service but he said again, "Very nice! You take picture!"
I said, "I don't have a camera."
"Use hand phone!" (which I have to say might sound like a broad assumption but I may be one of the few people in Singapore whose phone does not have that feature)
"I don't have a camera on my phone," I replied.
"Oh. Very nice," then, pointing to Megan, "Princess Dina! Princess Dina!"
Now, I think my daughter is pretty darn cute, but I have never for a second thought that she resembles Princess Diana. Erik said maybe there' s a Princess Dina somewhere in the world that I don't know. But I'm going to chalk that one up to the Singaporean accent.
So my daughter's had her first celebrity look alike comment. I've had some - none of which I trust. I think they were all due to my hairstyle at the time and/or someone's excessive desire to flatter. Because I highly doubt that anyone can look like Neve Campbell, Molly Ringwald, AND Mia Farrow. Especially not me.
