"She gets that from me!" That phrase has been repeated a zillion times in the last 36 hours.
But in reality, it's hard to tell from whom my fairy goddaughter got what...yet.
I am lucky to have my Granny's beautiful Italian skin. I'm grateful that I inherited my mother's singing voice. I'm proud of the curly locks passed down from her mother.
What family traits have you inherited? And from whom?

Great question. I do mostly resemble my mother: her blue eyes and slightly wavy hair and we have a similar build. My speaking voice sounds like hers, too. (but thank god not my singing voice! :)I inherited a sense of humor from both parents. My dad's is a dry sense of humor. My mom is a silly, laugh out loud humor. My personality is a good mix of both. The sensibility and conservative nature of my dad and the silliness and centered part of my mom.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome question. I got my nose and lips from my dad, eyes from maternal grandfather, legs from my mom (thankfully), feet from my dad (un-thankfully)... facial expressions from my mom, sense of humor from dad and maternal grandpa, allergies from maternal grandmother. You name it, it came from somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI got my singing voice, hairline and allergy to strawberries from my dad -- none particularly good things -- but I also got his normally mild mannered personality too.
ReplyDeleteI think I look a lot like my paternal grandmother. I'm a good eater, which I get from my mom, but what I like to eat, my taste buds, I get from my dad.
ReplyDeleteFrom my mom: the shape of my face and chin, my hands, my fortitude and common sense.
ReplyDeleteFrom my dad: my height, eyebrows, small feet, humour, and my love of nature.
Hmmm? Daddy's nose, his humor, his business sense,love of nature etc, etc. Mommy's sense of self,loving nature, love of flowers and good food!
ReplyDeleteI have my father's hands, my mother's eyes, my grandma's stomach (from both sides!) my father's sense of adventure and my mother's logic.
ReplyDeleteI got my fathers general attitude but my mother's short temper. What amazes me is watching my children. The youngest one does things that I did. Not common things, little particular things in the same way that I did them. He is constantly bringing up ideas that I had as a child. It is scary.
ReplyDeleteMy father reminded me that I have great cooking genes. Granny was the most amazing cook I've ever known. My father and brother also have great innate cooking skills. Hmm...
ReplyDeleteI guess my sarcasm comes from my mom. I seem to have the same sense of humor she used to have.
