Super Genius

Have you ever considered what cartoon character you and those around you most closely resemble? Either looks-wise or personality-wise? So it's just me then?

I've always compared myself to Wile E. Coyote (Super Genius). We both love scheming, plotting, and planning; our best laid plans often blow up in our faces; and we both often get injured in the course of our duties. But don't you love our enthusiasm? And don't you hate that bleeping Road Runner with his smug little "meep meep"s? I know I do.

I once had an ex who was rather like Pepé Le Pew. Which made me the poor cat who's always trying desperately to get away. Yeah, that didn't work out. Too clingy and overly amorous.

The Boy, at times, reminds me of Taz. He's a whirling dervish, a blur in motion, always moving and never still. And can that boy eat! I should sign him up for some eating contests.. Other times he's more like Daffy with the bad luck and temper.

The Girl reminds me a lot of Bugs Bunny. That girl has a fool's luck-- which, oddly enough, is what my mom used to say I had. She's also a smart ass (also inherited from me). Her quick wit and charm have gotten her out of quite a few scrapes.

The doctor who delivered my kids reminded me of Cecil Turtle. A lot. Looked just like him. Moved like him. It was eerie. The resemblance was most striking when he wore his green scrubs. I kept giggling. While I was in labor.

The comparisons aren't only limited to Looney Tunes characters, I've also known Eeyores and even met a real life Shaggy. Seriously. He looked, dressed, talked and acted just like Shaggy. It bordered on scary.

So, tell me: Which cartoon character are you most like and why?
