How do we explain this to our 6 year old?

Oh yeah we're HUGE HP nerds! I can't wait til they're all older so I can take them to WWOHP at UIoA! And you are the first person ever to say my girls look alike! Most people point out how different they are or how much my YDD looks like my oldest DS!

ETA: in the pic of ODS, Big Bang Theory is on. My kids have awesome taste in entertainment! Lol!

I think that apart from colouring they are very alike! I love their smiles

I think that most people comment on the obvious when they see children, so maybe you don't get it so much? Similarly, my daughter looks just like her father - but everyone says she looks like me because of her long dark hair! Well, they used to say that - I've noticed they've stopped since I cut my hair short and dyed it blue

If she's bummed about her hair color, wait till it's just you and her then drop your voice low and tell her she gets her dark hair from her ~real~ father, Jeremy Renner. Then give her a conspiratorial nod and say, "Our little secret".
