Look at the musical ...Oh Mike - you're a hoot. Look at the musical families you've written about. Did they fall on their heads at 4? I encouraged my children in music - REQUIRED them to take piano lessons until they joined the orchestra in 5th grade and stayed in orchestra through graduation. But Yo-Yo Ma, they ain't. I nurtured, I really did. So Daughter #2's Velma-like love of purple and jewelry (the more the better - no such thing as too many bracelets or rings) is as likely genetic as falling on her head at 4, I guess.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-48299556636278071132013-05-26T14:16:23.097-04:002013-05-26T14:16:23.097-04:00A got a 100% too!

This was a very clever quiz and converting the modern faces to sepia-tone made it work. I wonder if reversing the layout and instead colorizing the old photo faces would have made it more challenging. So many historical figures are almost defined by their Sepia or B&W photographs, and vintage family members are much the same. <br /><br />As to the idea that personality is also a family gene, that goes back to the debate whether "nature or nourish" makes the child/adult. I think it is more about native intelligence and dominance of right/left brain. That would make some personality traits seem inherited because the respective individual brains have similar wiring. Of course electrical/computer phrases tell only a portion of the reasons. Sometimes it's just 'cause you slipped and fell on your head when when you were 4.Mike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-69042516456325498762013-05-26T06:33:41.858-04:002013-05-26T06:33:41.858-04:00I hope sooner rather than later.
