Fish Lips

My father had a Dick Tracy nose, sometimes referred to as Roman, beneath which were his thick, full lips. His fraternal twin, on the other hand, had thin lips (Genes are strange things.). I don’t know where on the family tree either inherited them, but I do know that my father’s proved dominant: I have them, my daughter does, (I no longer have any idea what her mother’s were like.), my son does. I was never aware that mine were my father’s until, upon seeing a photo of her grandfather, whom she never knew, my daughter remarked that he had “fish lips” like hers and like mine. I showed her a photo of her half-brother, whom she barely knew then, and, yes, there they were. There are many traits that my father imparted to me. Sadly, not all were as wonderful as his fish lips. But I’ve been told more than once that my kisses are soft and sensual. What more can I ask?
