My concern was she might look like you.

No, she doesn't. Brown hair, brown eyes, definitely- not-white skin (not really dark, either...typical Hawaiian/Polynesian/Filipino coloring).

No, I don't look like Wally. I have all my hair, and I never wear a tie.

Good luck with that. We rarely can accomplish more than a nudge in a slightly different direction.

Yeah. Same here. I'm not above bribery. :-)

Except when the son discovered the joys of beer in ninth grade.

Hmmm. Haven't had that problem. When in Europe a few years ago she tried a few sips here and there (it's legal over there). Some she liked, some she didn't. She occasionally wants a sip of her mom's if it's either one she's never tried, or one she knows she likes. But she hasn't ever shown the desire to have one to herself. More of a connoisseur than a beer-hound. Now root beer is another matter...especially the "good ones" (she loved one from Red Ribbon bottling that we got in LA, but it isn't available in Phx). She'll happily guzzle that.
