I have been told I look a little like Danny DeVito. Personally I don't believe that.

I definitely take after my mother, we have the same body type and personality. I suppose I do have a few features of my dad's (that's bound to happen during reproduction, no?), but my sister's the one who really took after him. I don't know enough about my extended family (aunts, cousins, etc) to know who I look like most, unfortunately.

People would tell me I looked like Kelly Osbourne as well (back when the Osbourne Show was popular on MTV). Not sure if I want to take that as a compliment, though she does have cool hair.

I'm the spitting image of my older sister. We're nine years apart, but you'd think we were twins. She doesn't think I look like her, but I see it so clearly. We even sound the same over the phone - we can't be told apart when people call. The other day, when I babysat for her for some days and I took my nephew to school, most people assumed I was her and were saying hello to me like they knew me! It was only when I didn't respond quite as openly ('cos I obviously didn't know them) that they thought 'my sister' was acting a bit odd!

On a different note, my brother doesn't look like either one of my parents or me and my other siblings. He looks exactly like my grandfather on my father's side. I never met my granddaddy but I've seen his picture and the resemblence is amazing. It's quite common though for resemblences to skip a generation. Sometimes, out of 5 children, there's one with ginger hair and then you find out that the grandmother was ginger. I think it's a beautiful thing and shows the strength of biological history no matter how far removed.
