  2. What is a Family? • People in a family are related to each other • They usually look somewhat alike • People probably tell you all the time that you look like your Mom or your Dad

  3. Although you are related to the people in your family, you are uniquely different from all of them • You do not look exactly like someone else in your family, and you are probably a different size and shape than everyone else in your family too • Your age is also probably different from everyone else in your family

  4. It would be weird if everyone in a family was exactly alike • How would you be able to tell the difference between each other? • What excitement would there be in life if everyone was the same?
