After I'd been married a few years, my MIL showed me some family photos.
I noticed quietly that one guy looked a lot like my own father -- odd.
My MIL then said that she'd always thought my husband looked a lot like

I'd never noticed my husband resembling my father, but he likely did in
some respects.
