Have you ever noticed in the same family some people might be big and some are little? In my family my sister weighed like 89 lbs. I used to weigh 95 lbs. even after having 9 kids. My brother Wayne was always small too but brother Butch was kind of chubby. My Dad was kind of chubby and my Mom was not big or small. She was about the normal size.
My grandparents on my Dad's side my Granny was kind of big, my grandpa was tall and skinny. On my Mom's side Nanah was kind of big, Granddaddy was a little guy. I think that is who we took after. I have several grandkids that are very small like me. Take Tiffany, she is very small like me. Tobi she is very small and short. Kelci is small too. Jagger is very small too. Most of my kids were kind of small. Darla and Jana were a little bit bigger but not that much. They thought they were and always going on a diet.
Some of my family was real dark too. My Granny was Indian with long black hair and dark. My Dad was the same. My brother Butch and I had real dark hair and dark skin. I need to research that. I never did find out from my Granny what kind of Indian she was. Her last name was Byrd. That even sounds like an Indian name.
My Dad was short. Both my brothers were fairly short. My sister was 5'3" and I was 5'5". One of my sons was 5'6". But the others were taller. My youngest daughter is 5"2". Isn't it strange how some in the same family are dark? Some are tall. Some are short. Some are little. Some are bigger.
And then there is the color of hair. My hair was almost black like my Dad's and Granny's and Grandpas. My sister had brown hair. Wayne had blonde hair and Butch had kind of black too. My Mom's was brown. My kids five of them had blonde hair. Three had dark hair.
Writing this I just now realized that my brother Butch and I were the only one of the kids that had real dark hair and had a dark complexion. And in my kids there are only three that had dark complexion. The same three that had dark hair. I need to research my ancestors.
