I'm a natural blonde with thick black freaking eyebrows. Genetics is freaky stuff.
Extended families always seem to have the worst things buried in them. My mom's cousin I'm pretty sure is a pedophile, and my step-grandfather's father was a bonafide Nazi. My dad's family claims to be part Choctaw, but Dad and I took a good long look at as much of the genealogy as we could figure out, and are pretty sure it's just a cover for Jewish ancestry, especially since I almost certainly inherited two Ashkenazi Jewish diseases from him (mom's family is well documented and has no history of one, and the other needs two parents with it), which means I've got it on both sides. Given that Dad's family is virulently anti-Semetic, I find this hilarious. It' really weird and a little frightening just how many Nazis and serious anti-Semites I have in my nice Jewish family tree.
