I have mommy's eyes,
I have daddy's toes
I have daddy's smile,
I have mommy's nose

I have mommy's face shape,
I have mommy's calves
I have daddy's curly hair
And his under-eye bags

I have mommy's birth mark
I have mommy's curves
I have daddy's feet
I have mommy's nerves

I have daddy's laugh
And his weird bended thumb
But the only thing I don't have
Are their many years of wisdom
