When I was very young (about 4), I was told that I looked like my dad, but I had my mom's eyes and hair. I knew that I came out of Mommy's tummy, so I wondered how it could possibly be that I would look like my dad. The reason had to be, of course, that when a couple wanted to have a baby, they sat facing each other and STARED at each other really, really hard and decided then and there who's eyes the baby would have, whose hair, etc. I was living proof that this technique works, after all!
