Because I have dark hair (brown, not even that dark) and more of a golden skin tone people assume I have brown eyes. Always have. DS has very striking blue eyes and blond hair. The hair is like his father, but his eyes are much lighter than DHs. Even so, everyone says he looks "exactly" like his father. DD has a bit darker hair, but not as dark as mine. Everyone says she looks like me, well, except that she has blue eyes. A friend of my mother actually said, "no you don't" when I told her I had blue eyes too. Looking right at me. Wow. Oh, and DS and DD look very very similar in baby pictures up to about 9 months. Funny how gender and coloring are such strong identifying features to people.
