If you don’t watch ER, maybe you recognize Parminder Nagra from Ella Enchanted (family movie), or Bend It Like Beckham.

[By the way, husband Eastman just said, “We should rent it. There’s someone for everyone.”

I said, “Yeah? Who’s in it for me?”

“Well, it’s just for me, then. (i.e. Keira Knightly)]

My kids see her on TV and say, “Hey, it’s mom!” and I always laugh. When my brother was over, he laughed when he saw her on ER and then looked over at me. I’ve been stopped twice, once at the grocery and then the other time at Target. In the checkout line, of course, where these ladies are looking at me all strange. They take a breath and say, “Oh… gee, do you watch ER? You look just like her!” But the time at Target was when I was seven months pregnant with Oliver, and I turned with my big belly. The stranger laughed and said, “Oh, okay, I know you’re not her, because I know she’s not pregnant. Hahaha.” I wasn’t too quick with a comment (I’m just not that fast), and I kindly said, “Hey, thanks for thinking I was her.”

I’m just flattered they think there’s a resemblance.
