TWINS: ONE WHITE, ONE BLACK
|
|
THE PICTURE says it all really. Living in Burpengary, north of Brisbane, 5-monthold Alicia (black) and Jasmin (white) Singerl were born to mother Natasha Knight (mixed-race Jamaican- English), 35, and their father Michael Singerl (white German), 34. The couple also have a 5-year-old daughter, Taylah; blue-eyed blonde and light skinned.
"It's just amazing, they are so different," said Natasha. "When they were born you could see there was a colour difference straight away. We couldn't believe it.
"Alicia's eyes were brown and her hair was dark. Jasmin's eyes were blue and her hair was white - you could hardly see her hair or her eyebrows. "Someone even asked me if I was sure there wasn't a mixup at the hospital. But there was no mix-up - they are my girls and they are both so beautiful.
"We were joking when I was pregnant about what if one baby looked like me and one looked like Michael? We joked about one light one, one dark one, so it was amazing when it actually happened. "When we go out people stop and ask if they are twins. Other people will look but not say anything. Maybe they think I am babysitting one of them.
"It will be interesting when they go to school and they will probably wonder why they look so different from each other. I guess the easiest way to explain it will be to say one took after Mum, one took after Dad."
It's kind of reminisant of the movie Money Train with Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson, who played black and white brothers - except they weren't really brothers, just really tight bredrens. Ok so it's nothing like in Money Train. But they're damn cute none the less (the babies, not Snipes and Harrelson).
