I was a little shaken when I looked at my newly-born granddaughter and realised that her ears were exactly the same shape as mine,then I examined her arms, and she has the same "funny"-shaped elbows!
I have broad, straight shoulders like my father, and eyes the same as my Mum!.

My mohter has a really stick-out stomach, so do I!. At one point in my life I was anorexic, yet my stomach still stuck out like I was pregnent throughout, just like my mums does!.

I also have slimmer legs compared to my torso, again, like my parents!.
