You can't choose your family, and you can't choose how you resemble them. Your cultural identity, faith, economic status, good looks, your sense of humor—these are all a part of your family inheritance. For SixContest #124, we want to know: what's the family resemblance?

Did you inherit your mother's smile, or the way that your father tells stories with his hands? Or, are you the black sheep of the family? If family isn't everything for you, what about your family do you reject? Have you made a pact to just say no to drugs, or have you avoided the family business?

Whatever the case, this is your moment to share what your family has or hasn't given you. So, tell us what your family resemblance (or dissemblance) is in six.

If you'd like to share a backstory (we love reading them!), be sure to submit your entry as a six and include the link here in the comments. Share as many stories as you like, but do post only one entry per comment. We'll send the Sixer with the best Family Resemblance story our family-friendly keychain.

Remember to tag us and include #ResemblanceInSix when posting your Six Words to Twitter, Facebook and Instagram!
