I am very fair with very blue eyes. Dh is fair skinned too. Our son is darker skinned with the darkest eyes you ever saw. Dh and I both have straight hair too and we are small people. Our son is a big boy with wavy hair.
When people ask me where he gets his dark skin or dark eyes or wavy dark hair from.... I tell them ...ME! Its obvious that we look nothing like our son but it shuts the people up anyway....and we get a good laugh from the looks they have on their faces.
We also got our baby at birth so when asked Oh when did you have him, I tell them last March. Also its obvious that I didn;t have him, because of my age so that shuts them up too. LOL.
I've learned to have some fun with it.
Warm Wishes....Teagans Mama
