Which of your parents do you resemble and why? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Michael [hXc] · 04-14-2004, 01:20 PM

I look like my mother. I have her eyes, skin tone, hair, mouth, and teeth. I have her mother's facial structure (head shape and chin), and ears. The only features I got from my father are his nose and eyebrows. My brother, however, looks just like my dad.

What about you?

I have blonde hair and blue eyes from my father's side of the family (Irish), but other than that, I take after my mother's side (Italian).

Michael [hXc] · 04-14-2004, 03:13 PM

Wouldn't you think people would look like their mother since they are born from them? Here is my description. I have dark brown hair, light brown eyes, a light skin tone, and a round, but not fat, face. People say I look French.

I look like my mother's side. I have the same hair color, eye color, and features of my mother's side. In fact, I have been accused of being my uncle's (my mom's brother) son before! My sister looks a little more like my dad, but people also think she looks like her mom.

I don't look a whole lot like either of my parents, but I get my pale skin tone from my mother's side of the family. I also seem to have this genetic thing from that side where I never fall down the stairs- but ALWAYS fall up them. I get the thick/curly hair and height (just 5'2'') from my paternal grandmother. I have hazel eyes which I guess is from both since my mom has brown eyes and my dad has green. My dad and I are also the only ones in the family with reallyreally dark hair, I get it from him but we don't quite know where that comes from.

Michael [hXc] · 04-14-2004, 03:56 PM

The poll indicates more of the respondents look like their dad, but the written responses say mothers. My hypothesis that eyes are what makes the resemblance is apparently wrong. My grandmother had my mother, who was a mixture, and another daughter, my aunt, who looks just like her. My aunt has green eyes and my grandmother has brown, yet they look alike. I actually look more like them than my mother. The three of us have what we call "blockheads", and we are proud of the resemblances.

That has nothing to do with it...it's just...what's that word from science? chromosomes? eh well, you get 23 of those from each parent and yeah.

I look more like my dad, but I have my mom's personality...my sister's opposite...looks like my mom with my dad's personality. But that looking like them part is just the face...I'm built like my mom's side of the family, and my sister's like my dad's.

Our health teacher told us that boys normally look like their father and girls usually look like their mother. With most of the people I know and the people here, it is opposite. I read online that it is the opposite. She should get her facts straight before sharing them to the class. She also has told us other inaccurate facts, but oh well, I have the internet.

PZelda · 04-14-2004, 04:33 PM

My dad, definitely.

I have my mom's hair, though...But I strongly resemble my dad. In fact, one year, I compared a picture of myself from when I was 11 (1996) to when my dad was 11 (1965), and we looked EXACTLY the same.

The only thing that was missing was that my dad didn't have glasses until he was in 9th grade, whereas I started wearing glasses when I was 4, in 1989. It was soooo scary.

It all comes down to science. Domaint genes will cover up the recessive genes...So if your dad has olive skin and your mom has fair skin, you are most likely to get your dad's olive skin...but if your mom has brown hair and your dad has blonde hair, you are likely to get your mom's brown hair...brown is more domaint than blonde...

And so on.

My mother's side of the family.

MaydayMalonesGirl · 04-14-2004, 04:44 PM

My padre's side.

I know a boy who has all of his mother's features but looks exactly like his father. Weird, huh?
