You guys are my parents contemporaries.

When I was little - my dad would get "that" - I was very fair and had light hair.

Then when I was getting to be about 8/9 my hair went auburn brown and I got darker - and my mom would get that.

I pulled a funny on my dad once at Seabreeze Amusement Park (you can probably guess what that was ) and my mom was sooooo mad!

And I agree - that would be very confusing . . . In the 1970's my parents explained lighter faces and darker faces - and that pretty much worked for me!
