This photo of me at the age of 7 arrived in the mail today from my stepmother, Susie (Jeff’s mother if you’re keeping score). It’s pretty amazing how much the kids resemble me, since I’m a mongrel and Ben is 100% purebred Moroccan. I think Aliya wins the look-alike prize, but Adlani also looks A LOT like me and people say that Norah looks like me too. Poor kids. I guess it could be worse for them. When Aliya was a baby, a complete stranger looked at her and said, “Well thank God she didn’t get Daddy’s nose!”
