[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 288266, member: 2211"] [FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=royalblue]difficult child is olive skinned - she has Puerto Rican, Italian and Spanish blood in her. When she tans, she looks Middle Eastern or Indian. easy child is lighter skinned, but when she tans, she looks very Spanish.
