The eyebrows are exactly the same

She comes into my workspace carrying a portrait of me when I was about two years old, claiming that Adam is the spittin' image of me. I don't see it. She tries to convince me. We debate it for a few minutes. Finally she traces her finger over my eyebrows and then does the same to the photo. 
"See," she says, "the eyebrows are exactly the same." 
"You know why?" I ask.  
"Why?" 
"Because those ARE my eyebrows. This is me, and that's me. You're comparing me to me." 
"Oh ... yeah."
