Well, no kids here sadly enough. But i do know that i looked very like my mom in hair, face and things like that. And according to my brothers wife my Nephew, Andreas, looked verey much like me in his younger years. Much more like me than my brother she said.

My daughter looks a lot like me.....except she's taller than I am.
My brother and I looked a lot like my Mom and Grandma. Seven out of Nine of my Mom's brothers and sisters look very much alike. My youngest uncle and aunt look more like my Grandpa.....uncle even got mad at Grandpa when we were in high school, and started telling everyone he and my aunt weren't Grandpa's children.....I laughed and asked why he looked just like Grandpa.....

Both of my children got my eyes, but my son looks more like his father, while my daughter is a blonde version of me. They're half siblings, but you'd hardly be able to tell when they're together. They look like full-blooded siblings, which makes me wonder just how strong my genes really are. Aren't the men supposed to be the genetic warriors?

Slightly unrelated but I read somewhere that children resemble their fathers when they are first born as a survival thing so that the man sees themselves and then go whichever way the gene wind blows. Or, guys are big headed enough to invent a story like that because no man wants to admit about gooey they go when they see their kid for the first time. I would lean towards the latter.

You're probably right! :laugh:

By the way, I saw a truck the other day that made me think of you. The license plate read "pewpewp". Thought it was funny, in a cool sort of way. :biggrin2:
