Reminder:
I must make a confession to Kevin.... (my eldest Son)
Often, when he was little... people would beam and say,
"He's Just like his Father"
I did say that too, though I would stare sometimes.... trying to see where I stopped and he started - scientifically considering the chances of two blonde children being born (consecutively) to a couple who's Mum had such high genetic hereditary dominant hair colour established preferences.
I considered his immediate family pool, of nine children, he was one of 3 with blonde hair, then 3 had strawberry blonde, and another three were mousey. How come his blonde gene had won that argument?
Personally, really couldn't see any obvious similarity apart from the hair, although, having said that.... both my Sister and Brother were blonde when infants - though they became much darker as they grew. Whereas, I'd always been the same shade (Dark Ash Brown) - it's almost black but.... I'm developing platinum highlights at regular intervals. I quite like the salt and pepper contrast (reminds me of my Dad).
Which brings me back to my Kevin, like one of his favourite teachers said to me in St. Luke's, "You can tell yours, they're like peas from the same pod" - I knew she meant you all look like me, I felt so proud... you've no idea how gorgeous you kids all look to me and you know what that means?!
