Genes that don't pass.

Was browsing through some of my family pictures and I realised something about myself that kept me wondering while I was taking my bath.




Why am I so different from my family members ?!!


My parents have so many traits that I don't have!!!

1. Hair colour. This is the biggest and most mind-boggling issue of my parents genes being different from mine. My parents, including my sister and my grandparents, ALL HAVE BLACK HAIR. Okay, maybe my baby cousin has brown hair, but he's still a baby so who knows what hair colour he might have in the future. Maybe purple. Aha. But what really makes me wonder is that why do I have brown hair, when my parents/grandparents don't ? O.O Perhaps my mom drank too much bird's nest when she's pregnant with me. Heh. But I love my brown hair, so yeah.

2. Single eyelids. I'm the only person in the family who has single eyelids. Which makes me super depressed. Which girl doesn't want big, sparkly eyes?! My eyes aren't small, but I would really prefer double eyelids over single eyelids. Just like my sister's eyes - they make her look more energetic. Where did all my parents genes went to !!!!!!

3. Teeth alignment. This must be the worst part of genes not being passed down from my parents to me. Why in the world do I have crooked teeth when my parents and sister have perfectly straight teeth! And to top it off, I have lesser teeth count as compared to the norm. Which is so sucky !!! Can't wait to get my braces off - my teeth are already considered small, the braces are like taking up 3/4 of the teeth surface area. Now you know why you can't see my teeth when I smile. Hmm.

4. Height. This is so embarassing. I officially say that I HAVE NOT GROWN A SINGLE CENTIMETRE IN 4 YEARS. And I doubt I'll be growing anymore ): Fact: Dad- 180cm, Mom- 170cm, Sister(pri 5)- 158cm. Someone once told me that I'm like the dwarf of my family. Urgh. And it really sucks to be stuck at the same height 'cos you see everyone growing taller. Wtf my juniors are like taller then me. So when I scold them it'll be like looking up to them. Oh joy.

....


I remember when I was young and mischieveous, my mom used to tell me that she picked me up from the rubbish dump and brought me home. Which makes me wonder.......... AM I REALLY FROM THE RUBBISH DUMP ?!!!!!! (Okay highly impossible chance.)

My mom just told me, to rephrase what I've just said about my parents having traits that I don't have. Well, I'm guessing she meant it as me having things that my parents don't. And that makes me who I am. Heeeeeeeeeee (:
