seeing double

I don't think I have two sons. I think I have one that they cloned at the hospital and gave me 2 years later.

There's this shadow that follows Nate around, doing everything he does. If he picks up a toy, this creature does too. If he marches around the house chanting, the shadow does too. If he rolls on the floor while I tickle him, this smaller Nate rolls on the floor too.

I can almost hear Nate talking through this clone. It seems to mimic his voice, even his inflection. Sometimes I can hardly tell the two apart.

When Nate gets in trouble for running and yelling in the house and is told to sit down, the copycat does too. It's so weird. Look at the picture. Maybe you can see it too. I hope I'm not imagining it.
