You do paint a rather interesting picture of yourself Grin

FabbyChic · 06/11/2011 18:32

Hope I have nothing from my parents my mother has no integrity and went grey at 33, my father is weak and bald,

My DBro Got thick straight black hair, lovely teeth, long eyelashes and excellent athletic skills.

I got crap teeth, frizzy hair and a short temper.

NinkyNonker · 06/11/2011 18:35

I have a combination. My mother's height, my father's small bone structure. My mother's long limbs, my father's grey hair. Lucky me.

Hassled · 06/11/2011 18:36

I'm sure your big feet balance out your big bum to the extent that neither are noticeable.

I think DB and I are fairly even - I'm a slightly more attractive woman than my DB is an attractive man (thanks to my mother), plus he started going grey earlier. He has my father's easy charm and confidence, though, which counts for a lot.

Thats the joy of the gene pool

My mum is a willowy sylph in a family of sturdy lasses, yet she'd rather sit and read a book than do exercise. My dad is very fit with a huge appetite. I have three willowy yet muscular brothers...I am a sturdy lass with a huge appetite who would rather read a book than do any exercise Blush I think I got the worst combo.

JamieComeHome · 06/11/2011 18:40

I got my dad's looks and personality. And bodily foibles . Oh dear. I have my mum's feet. Oh dear.

My sister got my mam's height, long legs, big boobs and slim waist, and my dad's brain and ability to earn lots of money.

Where as I got my dad's short arse height, thick waist, depression and not quite so pleasant disposition and from my mam her not so good brainSad

lisad123 · 06/11/2011 19:03

According to my aunt, I got the whole families share of boobs Blush

EndoplasmicReticulum · 06/11/2011 19:03

I got my mum's "going grey at 16" gene, but luckily also got the no stretchmarks one.

From my dad, I have a freaky second toe that is longer than the big one.

I don't know where my complete physical ineptitude has come from, both parents were successful at sport.

ILoveMyDragon · 06/11/2011 19:10

Lisad I got the entire families boobs too!! My Mum still asks me where they come from!!!

Doilooklikeatourist · 06/11/2011 19:12

I look exactly like my Mum , and have been told that I am like her in my outlook on life , nice to be with , good company and an all round nice person .
So far so good , but Mum died when she was 61 and I'm 51 so getting a bit scared really...

exoticfruits · 06/11/2011 19:15

I get most of mine from my paternal grandmother-something for those who don't like your MIL to bear in mind. Grin

mumofthreekids · 06/11/2011 19:16

Gutted I got my Mum's teeth, looks like DS has them too . We have nice legs though :)

MrsTwinks · 06/11/2011 19:23

EndoplasmicReticulum that second toe thing is really common

My brother got the "I can eat anything and not gain a pound gene" and I got the "look at chocolate and gain a stone" one :(

otherwise he got the short straw... so i guess its ok Grin and all my cousins from mum's sisters have big boobs, yet mum and her sisters had none so I guess we stole those from somewhere WAY back

quietlyafraid · 06/11/2011 19:25

Well my brother is now my sister. And I still have better tits.

Think I lucked out.

Kveta · 06/11/2011 19:28

I got my dad's brains - that is my sole redeeming feature, sadly! I also inherited his barking 'oh god I think there's a lung coming up now' cough, which I get every time I have even the whisper of a cold. 2 yo DS has it too. Also inherited his mousy brown dull hair colour, wonky nose, and blue eyes. And his temper (bad) and sense of humour (good). Oh and enormous feet. Which are impossible to find shoes for that don't look Clyde-built.

Got my mum's metabolism, but father's appetite, so am near spherical. Also got mum's thick thick hair.

got the entire families' worth of boobs too.

My wee sister and brother got dad's metabolism and mum's appetite so are both reed thin and beautiful. Not the brightest bulbs though. And sister has mousy brown fine hair which she hates. Somehow brother got the blonde beautiful hair, which everyone always said was unfair for the only boy to have!! Other sister got mum's green eyes, and her thick hair, but like me got the metabolism/appetite the wrong way round!!

QuietNinjaTeacup · 06/11/2011 19:29

Well both my sister and I got my mums bum and boobs Sad but we didn't get her huge hands and feet Grin no idea about my dads side cos I don't know him.

QuietNinjaTeacup · 06/11/2011 19:31

Oh and in a family where even the girls are tall we got the short genes. Which is fine by me. My sisters prettier than me I think.
