Dimples

Yesterday while i was walking w/ LadyJ, we had dis small conversation about how dimples are formed?? i was so curious all this tym but i neva got the chance to search for an answer.. i actually asked LadyJ to do it as part of her FQ dis week but for me :p but since i'm free today, i managed to google and found thiz...
i have 3 dimples actaully but 2 are more prominent.. (in malay, we called it 'sugin' or lasung pipit which i owez got mixed up.. )

Dimples are indentations of the skin. These visible indentations are caused by the underlying flesh. They are mostly seen on both the cheeks of most people who have them, but it is quite common for some people to have dimples on just one of their cheeks. A dimple on the chin cause people to have a cleft chin. A majority of men have cleft chins, though it is not common in women to have a cleft chin. Actors Kirk Douglas, Michael Douglas and the late Cary Grant are some celebrities who have or had cleft chins.

Dimples are genetically inherited. They are a dominant trait. They usually occur because some muscles in certain areas of the face of a person are shorter than those in others. Dimples are commonly associated with the youth and babies, though the dimples of babies become less prominent or less noticeable when they grow older as the muscles get longer.

hope dat answers the question.. no wonder my siblings n i have dimples.. they are inherited but thinking back, does mum or dad has one?? so it shud have come from my grandparents or sumwhere in the family tree... cool eyh :p
