Speaking of #MyAdoredDaughter this morning... I don't know if I ever posted this photo.
This is ... my daughter? This is how she looks like, exactly - a beautiful, young person with long legs, and wonderful hair. And she keeps telling me "OMG, we look so alike, we could be twins..."

... but no, this is not a photo of her, this is a selfie of me reflected in a window. When I saw myself reflected in that window, I had to take a selfie and send it to her and she was absolutely amazed at how similar we look now, really, like twins, everything, the form, hair, posture, arms, legs, ... only her face is slightly different (and way younger, obviously 🥰

Inheritance can be a funny thing. I resemble my dad in many ways. But in some respects, I take much more strongly after the men in my mom’s family, especially the body hair and the shape of the nose. Also, my hair has always been darker than my dad’s, although he and I definitely share the tendency for full hair even at advanced age, whereas the men in my mom’s family are almost all bald. It is wondrous how genes sometimes mix.

in reply to Marco Zehe • • •@Marco TBH, she resembles my wife more than her mother (my wife isn't her mom), but she looks more or less exactly like me. So the photo above could really be me or her, if I didn't tell you who that person is on the photo and you'd see us next to each other, you couldn't tell who that was.
But, and that's the fun part, whenever she is visiting us and we three, her, my wife and me, go out for a walk, people are 100% sure she is our daughter, because she has nearly nothing from her biological mom, but some really interesting similarities with my wife.
In my own case, I have half-half, i.e. about half of me resembles my father, and half my biological mother (as far as I can remember, and I have one single photo of her).
