Hello BN readers!

My greetings to you guys. Please guys, I need help as I have something bothering me lately. Please guys, I noticed that I look different from my brothers. I am from a family of six, three boys and three girl. I am the only one that looks different.

My brothers are fair in complexion and are very very good looking while I’m dark and very good looking but nowhere near my brothers … I’m not worried about who looks better, though. My elder brother and my younger one are hairy just like my dad but am not. I just turned 27 and I only have ‘small hair’

I don’t have any resemblance with my dad but my brothers do. I just want to ask if it’s right for me to ask my mum if there is something she needs to tell me. My dad is late. Is it advisable to ask her if there is something I need to know?

I love her and I work hard to always give her whatever she wants. I leave outside the country and I haven’t seen her for 2 years, except through Skype. Please guys help a brother out.

Your sincere advice will be well appreciated as I wouldn’t want to hurt her.
