Funny MILism
I think my in-laws are out of touch with reality for a number of reasons. I thought I'd share the latest in-law-ism with you.
MIL heard on the radio somewhere that all first born children look like the father so that the father will be confident the child is his and stay around. Personally, I think that was part of a joke or something.
MIL thinks this is an honest to goodness scientific fact. While DS does look like his daddy, I don't think it's because he's the first-born child. Now she's comparing all first-born children to their fathers to confirm it.
LOL, is that the craziest thing you ever heard?

Re: Funny MILism
I think there is a Darwinist school of thought stating that most 1st babies start out looking like their father even if their features change over time.
Coincidentally, DH also has a mini-me.
I've never heard this before and I don't have any kids yet, but...my niece looks a lot more like my BIL than my sister!
Also, I don't see the resemblance, but I'm the oldest of three, and I always get told that I look like my dad!
I believe there's some truth to that. I don't know about the first born part, but, evolutionarily speaking, it stands to reason that offspring would start off resembling their fathers so that the fathers would feel a sense of connection that may have been necessary to make it worthwhile for them to go through all the effort of providing for the children. My DH's ego sure supports that theory. I believe I first heard about the idea from my midwife.
LOL, well Evan is a clone of DH and Ryan looks like me
Not to give your MIL more evidence!
