Subconsciously I expected Jacob to look like Joseph as a baby.  After he was born we just kept looking at him, surprised by the dark hair and olive skin.  Once I compared him to my baby picture it made more sense.  And then I thought about my sisters.  Natalie is tall, blue-eyed and blond.  Megan is petite, brown-eyed and brunette.  Then another similarly colored sibling duo popped into my mind . . . Frank & Joe Hardy.  I know - fictional - but I was a fan in Jr. High and still have Hardy Boy and Nancy Drew books on my shelves.  I will even admit that I've read some of them recently (as in the last year).  But I decided to keep my revelation to myself. 
Until this conversation a few days later:
Dad: you know who your boys remind me of?
Me: who?
Dad: Frank & Joe Hardy
Me: I know, right???!!!!!
as further example of how weirdly our minds work alike . . . . this conversation took place a few months after I got my first car at 16:
Me: So when I have my windshield wipers on intermittent I can count to 16 between wipes.
Mom: you count between the wipes?  That's kind of weird.
Dad: It's 18 in the truck.
