If the girl looks so much like you that your mom got confused, I bet she still thinks you're pretty.

Haha everyone makes mistakes...that just happened to be a bigger one

You'd think that your mother would know what you look like by now.

thats gotta hurt! but the main thing is your graduated :)

Happy graduation! you likely look pretty regardless. maybe the graduation wardrobe was unflattering?

Look at the bright side OP, your mother was attempting to compliment you! It may not have worked, but it's the thought that counts :)

Wishful thinking externalized. I hate it when that happens...

How did she make that mistake? Unless you two look very similar ...

Maybe your mom made a wish to her fairy godmother to make you the prettiest girl at graduation! :) It worked, just not in the way that she expected.

so your mom was sitting far enough back to mistake what you look like AND to not hear your name being called???
