My sisters and I look so different from one another... why is that?
First of all, I would like to make it clear that we are all from the same parents. No adoption or whatever. But it's always been strange how different we all look from one another even though we are all born the same. The best way I can put it is that it's like a colour scale with our hair, eyes and skin tone. My youngest sister has light, blonde curly hair with blue eyes and really pale skin. We used to make jokes about it because she was so pale. She basically only a shade off the colour white itself. However my other sister has black hair frizzy, really dark skin (like an African American) and really brown eyes. People often question if she's black but our family is all very Caucasian. However despite this she turned out so dark which she has no problem with. She often goes around declaring she's black anyway and is very proud of her skin tone. And then there is me. I have green/hazel eyes, medium/light tone skin and brown hair. So I sort of fall in the middle between the too. We are all pretty much the same height and all appear the same age when we go out and most people always seem to assume we are all best friends. They seem completely shocked when they learn we are sisters. My mum and dad both have similar features to one another. Dark brown hair and green eyes with about my skin tone. How does this happen exactly...?
