(mom's is wide/flat, and dad's is big and pointy)

my mouth/lips are from the japanese side

My dad and I used to meet up for lunch when our offices were close to each other.
We'd go to the local diner or something and we'd always get mean stares from people.
I just thought people were rude. Jersey-style.
Then one day, my dad and I ran into a coworker of mine.
We didn't make time for introductions, just in passing, we said hello and good bye.
When I got back to work
my coworker approached me and asked if the guy i was with was my boyfriend/husband.
Uh.
EWWW!
Then i explained how he was my DAD and how EWWW EWWW EWWW
After that, I realized people who would see us out together had NO CLUE we were related
and probably thought this dude was having some kind of rendezvous with a youngin'. Asian-style.
Apparently we look nothing alike.

This is my dad, me, Mike & my mom.
keep in mind, my mom and i are wearing heels... lol.

Actually, now that I'm looking at this photo, I think my dad is taller than 5'10"

Mike is 5'8" -- and my dad looks a lot taller.

what do you think?

It is strange that I don't have ONE feature inherited directly from my dad...
Me and my other 2 sisters all have different noses.
I guess we played mix-n-match in the womb.
My younger sister and I have the same voice, mouth, eyecolor and same face shape
and even though she is 4 or 5 inches taller than me and about 40lbs lighter
we are always told we look like identical twins.
uh, okay.
My older sister is 5-6 inches taller than me and she has dark almost black eyes like my mom.

what features did you inherit from your parents?
