What is our ethnicity?

I don't get too much credit for the children looking like me.  They all look just like David.  Yesterday I took the girls to the salon for haircuts.  Today I took the younger two with me in a stroller for my haircut.  As we were paying, the hairstylist said, "Is their dad Asian?"
 I don't know what my face said.  I was trying not to burst into laughter.  Nothing I would be ashamed to claim.  I was just curious where she was seeing it.  I just said no.  He is hispanic, 50/50.  Some people don't believe me when they find out he is hispanic.  She said, "Oh, I knew I saw something in them."  Alright, we will just pay and be on our way with my Asian-Ecuadorian-Caucasian-American children that are not mine.  I am just the Nanny ;)  Fun experiences!  Love my life!

that is so funny. Your kids don't look at all Asian. But don't believe what people say. I remember once taking Jay and Nicky to Sam's and some people stopped me to ask me if they were twins and if I dyed Jay's hair blonde. Can you believe that?? and like I also made him use blue contacts lol. I really thought it was funny.

That's funny because I totally see the Cotten in all of them - maybe because I knew you and your family when you were little. Kennedy looks a lot like you to me. Cohen is totally Rex made over with darker hair. And, my mom and dad saw a picture of Taylin and said they definitely see resemblances to you in her face. I can't tell with Teague yet, but I'm sure I'll see it in him, too, as he gets older. People always think my little one is a clone of her daddy and that's a-ok with me :)

That's hilarious! I didn't know he was hispanic! Have you been watching American Idol? There's a guy on there that looks so much like David to us! I can't remember his name right now (of course...) but you need to look. It's awesome. :)

Y'all are awesome! David is a 50/50 blend American/Ecuadorian ;)

Janene, we have been watching and been told...Stefano (no longer there *tear*) and David have some resemblence. Good times!

Oh and Claudia...the twin comment. That would be an interesting explanation if true! Very far fetched.

No kidding hu? lol Linds and I were lauging bad about it for a while. That is how I earn the adoptive mother for him :)
Funny but true, Stephano does look A LOT like David. Glenn and I thought the same when we saw him. Sad he is not longer in the competition.
