Let's PIP some siblings, eh?

crfische

Then we can judge which one, if any, you look the most like.

This is little Ian. He's not little anymore, but he's still 8 years younger than me.


And this is my big brother Noah, 2 years older than me.


ANNNDDD yours truly:


All right, your turn. Let's see 'em.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

Wow. It's pretty dead in here.

I only have one sibling.

This is my 25-year-old brother in a super classy-blurry-cell phone-facebook pic:








My brother has a way cuter nose than me. We have the same eye color and a lot of the same mannerisms and speech patterns, but I don't think we look alike. Matt looks like my dad's side of the family and I look like my mom's.

FWIW, Fishy, I think you guys all look alike.

DodgersBride

I only have 1 sister. We look nothing alike. Her kids are the same as we are as well. One has light skin and light hair color and the other dark hair and darker skin.

Me and my bro's a few years ago:




Russ is on the left. He's 5 years older than me. Todd is in the middle. He's 18 years older than me.

Um, no, they just both have shaved heads. ETA: bro is on the left, H is the right

See, it bothers me when people say I look like my mom. Gee, we're both chubby and have the same hair color. That's where the similarities end! It was worse when I wore glasses, because she does too. But I got a lot of that at the wedding. I want to bust out my mom's parents' wedding pics, because my mom looks JUST like her dad and I look a lot more like her mom.

crfische

Reddy, it doesn't look like you look like your brother. And I'm not just saying that because you said you hate when people say you do.

Mery, I can totally see a family resemblance, though. I really can.

Dodger, I think you're right. You guys don't really look alike.

<div>Yeah, when I was a kid it bugged me and her a lot, we would always point out our differences. Now we just say 'thanks' and move on. I have more of my dad's personality and my brother has more of my mom's personality, so I think that's why it always bugged us too.</div>

Here is my big sister Amy




And here is my little sister Zoe

crfische

Birdie, you guys have the some of the same features, too, I think. Especially the mouth.

People tell me I look like my mom, too, but I DONT AT ALL. We just act VERY similar, which I think makes people think we look alike, but we dont.

See?

naomikb

I don't post much in here but I'll join in if you will welcome me into the thread!

This is me (far right) and my siblings 2 Christmases ago.

People have told me that before and I guess I can see it.

crfische

Andy, you three all look so darn different!

Birdie1483

My brother Russ and I look a lot alike. People always comment on how they can tell that we're brother and sister.

I also think it's crazy how much he looks like my dad when I see pics of my dad when he was young.

andy71781

And here is me!  (I tried to find an equally awkard restaurant pic for consistency)

crfische

Naomi, dude, you guys are so totally related. You all look alike.

crfische

Oh yeah, Birdie, they do.

Andy, you guys have so many similar features and yet all look so different.

Birdie1483

Yeah fish we do. I wish I could find pics that are closer up on the face! My brother Todd is a half brother, so we only share half of the same features. Our similarities are more subtle, like our shared grief over having horrible eye sight (and no one else does in the family).

andy71781

Fische I agree - you do not look like your momma.

<div>He just has such a long face and dark features and big eyebrows. I used to be a butt and say, "oh really, how?!" when people would say it, to which they would usually concede that we talk the same and have the same mannerisms and "it's in the eyes". So I think that really means they are talking out their asses with small talk, I don't know.</div>

Beachy730

Thats my brother and I.  its a few years old but its what you're getting since I have no pics on this computer, and that was already on photobucket. 

andy71781

Birdie - I think its the proportional spacing between the eyes/eyebrows and cheekbones.  Both are very handsome!  Who is the little cutie in the pic with your dad?

Fische - people say Amy and I look alike more than Zoe and I.  But I agree - we are all very different.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

FWIW, here's a pic with my mom on the right (and my brother on the left):




And one with my dad:




Sorry those are small, they're the only ones I have access to right now.

andy71781

yup you two are siblings dnb.  Is it weird if I say that you have a hot brother?

We work together and when I first started ppl used to ask my sister when I wasn't around "what happen I thought your sister was going to start here?" I also have curly hair so it's makes the different stand out more.

crfische

Beach, is he your twin?

and yeah, I don't. But I don't look like my dad either.

reddy123

So far, I don't think anyone looks like their siblings except Fish and her little bro.

naomikb

Maybe I'm not so good at family resemblance... the only people I think look really similar are Fische's Ian & Noah, and Andy & sister Amy.

andy71781

People say that I look like my dad - which has always been hard for me because he's a boy.  Here is a wedding pic with us together.

crfische

Mery, I need to reserve judgement until I see a bigger picture.

crfische

That's so weird, because none of us ever thought we looked alike. Like there are some families, where you just KNOW they are a member. Like Dude, you're SO a Smith.

But we never had that with our family. As we got older I think we maybe look more alike.

Andy. You do look like your dad. That's a cute picture.

Birdie1483

That's actually my brother and my baby niece Sienna!

We come from very cheeky families. My niece looks like her mom from around the nose up, but she's very much my brother from the nose down.

She was a skunk this year
