    I'm 50% Irish, 25% Cuban and 25% ???
    My mom and I look so much alike that it's eerie (my nose isn't genetic a bird bit it in half when I was one, thanks dad...).

    Haiden (my daughter) started out looking more like the ex but now she looks like a mini-me. My mums side of the family has strong genetics evidently. The only time you can tell I'm half Irish is during summer where my beard turns red and I get freckles on my nose and cheeks if I spend a lot of time in the sun.

    Because I'm one hell of a butler.

    My son is a splitting image of my ex. He has my face shape (my ex had an oval, longer face, mine is more round) and my cheeks (the ex had hallow cheeks, I have poofy round cheeks), but other than that, he doesn't look like me. He has blonde hair and blue eyes and he is pale like me, but so was my ex, so I'm not sure who he got that from.

    Genes my parents gave me? Just about every single one of them!

    In either case, tall genes, and slim genes. Now I'm not slim, but if I didn't have these awesome genes, I'd probably be obese.

    I look super Irish too, but I'm only 1/8th Irish, and I get it from my dad. I have the pale skin and occasional freckles but nobody else in my family gets freckles. Weird.

    I saw that you had posted, and I knew that it was going to be a jeans joke. We have spent too much time together.

    I am French Canadian and French . My mother's father and his family immigrated from France when he was a boy.

    When I came out of the birthing matrix, I discovered my people had died eons ago.

    I still search for scraps of information about the fall of our civilization, and seek revenge on those who destroyed it.

    I got my weird toes from my dad's side of the family. My second and third toes are longer than my big toe, and my pinkie toes curve back on themselves so the nail doesn't really grow out. I got what my Mema calls "The Banks dreamboat eyes" from my great grandma, but the color is more similar to my mothers.

    I don't really look like anyone in my family, except one cousin and I favor each other a bit.

    Signature by rubah. I think.
