If you are reading this ,of course it’s safe for me to assume that you are alive, breathing,and maybe rolling your eyes right now at my poor start to this article. You rolled your eyes the same way your mother does. Or maybe your aunt. By the way you have nice eyes😉. Omg..you know what! I just realised that your eyes are sooo sooo similar to your brothers’.I wonder where you two managed to get those jewels to see the world with 🤔. Sometimes I think that your brother can easily pass off as you without that moustache that he thinks looks great on him. Although..the eyes make up for that dreadful moustache👦👧..Why am I never lucky enough to have such eyes or hair or whatever..maybe because I don’t carry the super nice genes of your grandmother!👵 I remember seeing her portrait from your drawing room wall. Those eyes!The rumour mills have it that she had a very very nasty temper👿. Is that true?😌 Wonder which kid in the family was bestowed upon with that though 😂. It would be fun to live with whoever it is.Sadly and/or not always thankfully, no one gets to choose the genes they get from their ancestors. It is no way near like choosing what to put in a Subway sandwich! 😝
Every family is made up of a bunch of peculiar people. And well, those peculiar people reproduce with peculiar people from other weird families and create peculiar babies but not necessarily. The offsprings are pretty much normal babies at first 👶🐣: pooping, drinking, spilling, crying,leaking and making your heart melt with joy. But as time goes by they develop: both physically and mentally.Once their personality is defined, suddenly you will find them doing things in a certain way that they were not even taught to do😱. They just do it that way because it comes naturally. And since you have been able to witness things done the same way by someone in your family before, you have a deja vu moment 😨😰😱😳😵.
The walk, the talk, the hair flip, the toes, the smile with a slight curve,the maturity,the immaturity,the painting skill,the amazing hair,the penchant for a particular obsession,the temper, all of it reminds you of some people in your family. Your mother, father, sister,great great grandfather,paternal uncle, maternal aunt and God knows who all have contributed to this human concoction. The cells, flesh and blood , the education ,knowledge of the current times ,and the good genes as well as the bad genes ,are all mixed into one individual made up of different people of both sides of the family. Some genes are way more powerful than others and form the dominant part of the person. Some genes get passed on but remain dormant to be passed on to the later generations only to be activated later.
I have been observing people in my family since many many years now. And boy I am amazed ! It’s like watching God’s own magic show. You can say , duh woman, shut up , it’s all scientific. Yeah yeah I agree. But let’s call it a truce and name it as a scientific magic of the genes. This stuff makes me believe in unicorns! 🦄
