What is it like to be Swedish?
Well firstly, whatever you've heard about most Swedish people being blonde is true. In my opinion, it has the largest percent of blondes in the world. Much blonder than Germany.
I have been many places around the world and never seen a blonde-fest like this one.
The hardest part about being Swedish, is no one actually believing that you're Swedish. At least until I open my mouth.
You see, I speak it the best out of my three siblings but I also am the least swedish looking as well. I have brown curly hair, brown skin, and brown eyes.
The twins are fraternal but they both have blue eyes. Aria has dark brown hair like mine except hers is less curly and she has much lighter skin. Ana has dark blonde hair that is just as curly as mine and her skin is the same shade as mine (I would say I have about the same skin shade as Vanessa Williams). My dear little Atticus is the most "Swedish-looking" of all of us. Blonde hair (slightly curly) and blue eyes, he has my dads prominent nose and is tall like him too.
My mom never spoke any Swedish until she met my dad. Now, she can speak it pretty much fluently but she has an absolutely terrible American accent. I mean sometimes she is speaking Swedish and I just have to cringe, language skills are not her forté.
That was a little digression, anyways that was my first "Me The Swede" post and there will be much more to come.
Honestly I wanted to say more but I have hardly any time these days.
