I played this at a party once. The mother was 1/2 hispanic with beautiful tan skin and dark, thick hair. We all guessed the baby would take one her traits and be petite. Nope-she had a large blonde, very fair skinned little girl who looked just like her father. We had a lot of fun, and it made the birth announcement details a little more interesting.
