Charlotte's pretty out there socially. She's an extroverted little kid and she's not at all afraid of addressing adults. Recently we had a visit from Charles' cousin James who is tall and solid like Charles. He has dark hair like Charles. He also wears glasses and has a beard. Charlotte told him he looked a lot like her Daddy (despite the beard).
A few days later Big Jim came over to do weights and was greeted by our fearless little rod of solid will. Big Jim is a lot like Charles too - same height, solid build, dark hair. And like James, Big Jim has glasses and a beard cropped in a similar way. I came in at the tail end of that particular greeting to find Charlotte regarding Big Jim thoughtfully as he talked to her.
"I'm one of your Daddy's friends," he was explaining.
"Oh I know," she nodded, "You all look the same."
The kid's kind of right. Charles seems to have a lot of friends who are tall, solid and have dark hair. A number of them also come with glasses and facial hair. To Charlotte they're all just slightly different versions of her Dad. The real insult though came tonight when Daddy was hosting two friends (one who kinda looks like him and one not so much) to play Dystopian Wars. As they set up Charlotte came out and took in the sight of them.
"Daddy, you have two friends?" she asked in disbelief.
