Traits (Quirks?) for Generations

Blog Posted:9/30/2011 12:50:00 PM

What trait runs in your family for generations that, no matter how much education or effort, cant seem to be changed or improved?


For me, its penmanship. My brother and son have the same terrible unreadable penmanship that my father had, and we have logs from Newfoundland ships of our ancestors with the exact scratchy thin writing that no one can read.  Then add my mothers too-loopy writing and no one can win. And believe me we tried. I wanted that fountain pen in first grade that you received for good penmanship and I had to overcome the curls and loops(I didn't get the long thin scratchy penmanship side)

we come from a family of really warm people.. there was never a day in my grandma's house- our own house as well- when the living room would be empty..we always had visitors

Striving for more, my Dad went back to university at the age of 40 as did I . My Mom worked as a Social worker long before most women worked in households... my daughter has two degrees and starting another. Its the love of knowledge, I think.

I always say I inherited the best from my parents, my mother had the most beautiful handwriting and when I am not rushing I do also, my father was very gentle and somewhat emotional, like we would cry at sad parts in movies, my mother strong like a mountain, I can be like that to when needed and my Mom had a real good sense of humour right up to the day she died, I think I do also, my grandma was the storyteller and I definitely inherited that from her, no doubt about that one, but I am the only writer in the family, my siblings don't even like poetry~~

Did you left-handed warrior family also use their skills to invent those on-line midevil role games to keep their skill set sharp? Did they invent weapons for the left handed to increase their warrior power? LOVE IT
