Nature VS Nurture
I've been thinking about genentics a lot lately. I was going to do a entry about who the kids look like and that the boys look so much alike. Just can't get the photos to load. Will try again later. The thing is, what do we teach our kids and what is just in them, you know, just who they are. I had to laugh this morning. Brandon has been sitting on the counter a lot lately. At times it drives me crazy. Funny, I used to do the same thing to my Mom. Maybe it's just her revenge. She once said that my kids would be her revenge. And I thought she was kidding. I used to sit on the counters while she cooked and talk to her. As I got older I used to sit in the center bar in the double sink. I even remember doing it in high school. Anyway, the point is I don't remember teaching Brandon to sit on the counter unless you count if he hurt his knee and I had to put something on it. So, where did it come from; are we genetically disposed to sit on the counter. I know, I'm really losing it. But look, it came from somewhere.

As far a Mom and her revenge:
My memory is that when the kids would do something that would qualify as such, she wouldn't never rub it in, never even really say a word. She'd just sit there and - serenely - smile.
I see that smile every time my kids drive me crazy. It actually makes the whole thing seem better or, at least, more tolerable.
