While shopping with her son at Costco, one mom stopped right in her tracks when she noticed someone that looked oddly familiar sitting on a bench in the distance.

Take a good look at this toddler's lime-green polo shirt and matching plaid shorts. Now notice what's going on in the background, just behind the adorable little boy—an older gentleman sitting on a red bench wearing the exact same outfit (minus the shoes).

The parent, using the handle A_OBCD8663, posted a photo of the scene to Reddit with the caption, "I guess I know what my son will look like in 70 years..."

This could just be a popular fashion trend for all ages (neon colors are so hot right now), or we may have just missed Costco's big sale on DeLoreans.

When I moved here, I found out pretty quickly there is a fella here a "few" years older than I who I share the same name with.  One day at a gathering, I asked a friend if my "namesake" was there and my friend said yes and asked if I wanted an introduction.  I replied I would handle it.

I walked over his way as if looking for a place to sit.  We exchanged pleasantries without introducing and shortly resumed people watching.  After a few silent moments, I leaned over close to him and said -

"I understand you've been using my name."

Mentioning the Munich attack.   When in Germany, I used to walk about their cities at night.  It was safe, then, and one could see the sights without the crowds.  First night in Munich, I saw someone dressed exactly like a WWII Wehrmacht soldier -- field grey uniform, jackboots, coal scuttle helmet and automatic weapon.  Sent a bit of chill thru me.  As I walked by, I noted the submachine gun was a modern HK, not a MP 43/44, (Schmeisser) as carried by the WWII troops.  Later, I remembered reading the book, Company Commander, one of the best works on WWII close up.   A US army captain negotiated the surrender of Munich.  He noted that the police were exactly uniformed and equipped like the German army.

We were walking around at a "festival" where they sold some kind of non-alcoholic drink served in a coconut shell with a face carved on it. A man was pushing a stroller he had set the coconut into, and the mom was holding the baby. When I walked by I looked at the coconut and said, "that's the ugliest baby I have ever seen". He didn't miss a beat-he said, "takes after his mom's side". What was even funnier was the peoples' reaction right behind us that couldn't see the coconut, and couldn't believe I had called a baby ugly, and that the dad hadn't seemed bothered. Same thing happened when our neighbor dressed up and brought their pug doggy "trick or treating". People passing him kept telling him that it was the ugliest kid they had ever seen.
