Thought....Question
Does anyone else find that they just can't fight off their parents' influence?? Like is it destined that we are going to have the comedy stylings of our parents? If it is, I am destined to be corny....This makes me sad.

Just hope you don't have too much to worry about inheriting. If you do you just have to reject it as much as you can and pick the good bits your genes and their parenting have bequeathed you- even if that's just a living reminder not to be like your parents
I'd be proud to turn into either of my parents. As it is I'm turning into both- just not always in a good way.
