A 40-year-old mum claims people think she looks so young that her and her daughter are mistaken for sisters when they go on a night out together.
Kerry Milner, who is mum to 21-year-old daughter Tionne Milner, also says she she still gets ID'd for booze.
She started being likened Tionne's siblings or friends around two years ago – each time they headed out together to hit the town.

The mum-of-three said waiters have been left 'gobsmacked' whenever Tionne refers to her as mum.
She said they often think the pair must be joking – until she explains their 19-year-age gap.
The company director claims she's often bombarded with questions about her 'secret' to maintaining her youthfulness.
Her tips to staying young include eating a balanced diet, lathering SPF on her face daily and keeping active.
Kerry who shares a very close relationship with Tionne, said that they just both just laugh it off each time they're mistaken for siblings. She's "incredibly proud" of her daughter and the journey they've shared together.
The mum, of Birmingham, West Midlands, said: "When we are out for a meal and she calls me mum the waiter or restaurant staff are always gobsmacked and think we are making a joke.
"They always ask me how old I was when I had her. This happens every time we go out and we often laugh about it."
She added: "My company is very public-facing as I teach martial arts. I have coached hundreds of women and children and each time they find out I have a 21 almost 22-year-old they are always shocked.
"I remember one time my daughter came to my business premises and some of our student's parents thought she was my sister or friend.
"When we explained that she was my child they couldn't believe it."
Kerry had her daughter Tionne when she was 17-years-old.
The company director of a martial arts mental health and wellbeing company said that she often receives similar comments whenever she posts photos with her online.
Kerry said: "People often comment 'wow you must have had her young' and sometimes ask me what my secret is for looking so young.
"My daughter said she often shares posts of us on her Snapchat if we are out together and people always message her saying 'you look like mates and not mother and daughter'.
"She's a waitress and I often pop into where she works and her colleagues have said 'I can not believe that's your mum'.
"One colleague didn't believe her until I popped in one time and introduced myself."
The duo were once even mistaken for being sisters three times within a single week.
She said they often go out together for meals, bottomless brunches and festivals, and that she's hoping that just the two of them can go on a girls holiday together soon.
Kerry said: "My relationship with my daughter is very close.
"We clashed when the teenage years arrived over normal teenage things.
"We are really close now and enjoy going out for meals together, nights out and family time.
"We have sometimes been mistaken for being sisters because we like the same style of clothes and colours, so we dress similarly.
"These comments make me feel happy and funny. I am incredibly proud of my daughter and the journey we have shared together."
