"Sisters Laila, 14, and Mia Pickett, 12, goof off while being photographed at Seattle Girls' School. Though they have the same parents, they have different skin tones, and they say it makes kids curious. ""She took my dad's complexion; I have the mix of both of my parents,"" Laila explains. Their father is black; their mother is half-black, half-white. As a family, culturally, they mainly identify as black. (Lindsey Wasson/The Seattle Times)"
