When I was a kid, I thought that woman get pregnant simply by looking at their husband. And finally after the birth the child will look like mum or dad (or a mixture) cause mum looked into the mirror and in dad's face too and the characteristics of both faces are somehow transferred "via mother's eyes" into the genes of the child...
