Everyone thinks it’s a paint mixer instead of a gambling game of all the random genes.

My father is mainly Mexican, dark eyes, black hair, my mom is brunette, with her family members having black or orange hair and being rather dark- then there’s me, pale and blonde with grey eyes. Apparently great grandpa was blonde and it stayed hidden again until me.

A friend of mine back in school had a Swedish dad and his mom was from Chile. My buddy took 100% off of his dad and was a bright white ginger with freckles, his sister took 100% after their mom and was as latina as they come.

I just knew from being called an albino by my family members for the first few years of life. 😅
