Okay, now how do you answer this one ? I have 7 great grandchildren---same father as we all know, 6 children are blonde/fair and one looks like Sabu from the jungle films. He is dark haired, olive-skinned goes deep colour in summer and he has green eyes. Both parents,GP's fair.
He's a startling looking child, but where did he come from ?
He's already asked why he's different, even though he's like a darker image/ version of his father.
I'm aware that there's a European connection in the family but we're going back over 400 years and I also know it's not impossible for that to show through in a family at some point but this difference is causing him problems, behaviourwise at school and at home. He's hard to handle and at an age of self-consciousness at 8.
