A Gene Pool Game

Don't cheat if you've already seen this. Let's play a little gene pool game.

First up is the this adorable little girl. We'll call her "Exhibit M."





Now the game is to guess which person she is more closely related to in the gene pool. Is it "Miss Germany" below?

Or is it "Miss Child Born into Family with Ugly Couch" below?

Can you guess?

"Exhibit M" is the one and only adorable Miss Morgan. If you look at the pictures, she does sure look a lot like "Miss Child Born into Family with Ugly Couch."

But the answer is....she is the daughter of "Miss Germany," who is also known as Shannon, my sister. And I'm the one with the ugly couch...which I remember as really scratchy as well (not a good combo).

Isn't the gene pool strange? My baby pictures and this picture of Morgan (my niece) look SO much alike. And then Shannon's oldest, Mallory, looks just like Shannon. It's all a little weird...and made even weirder by my sister's comments about not being just the surrogate.

Good times with genetics!
