Or packrattiness! Kidding, but I loved that one! That's me too! And the talking too loud thing. I've improved a lot in my adult years, but I used to be really bad for talking fast, a lot and loud! I might be able to blamd my Mom for this face that I make when I'm doing my hair. My brother and I used to tease her about it and she didn't know what we were talking about "you totally make a face when you're fixing your hair" "No, I don't!" Oh yes she did, and now so do I! I caught myself doing it about 6 months ago and now I notice it every once in a while. It's rather hilarious, but now I know that it is a totally subconscious tihng. I wouldn't have noticed it either if I didn't recognize it from watching her! I don't know what else...if I get going I could take all day! Gotta be gambit. Or packrattiness!

I have very little idea..... i get my stubbornness, my singing ability, my passive-agreessive tendancies, my intelligence and my sense of social justice and my left-leaning tendancies from my parents. And probably a whole lot more. Wordygurdy gurdy word: i want to go with en famille, but i don't think you'd be so bold as to italicize your wordygurdy word today... so i'm going with gambit. Because while i know the word, i've not seen it in that context before... hmmm. the wordygurdy gurdy word is well hidden. I have very little idea…..

On several occasions as a kid, I remember coming downstairs at 4am for a glass of milk and she hadn't gone to bed yet. From my dad I get my love of dancing (and hopefully his ability, as everybody says he was a great jiver). You've got a great voice, Jummy, and I love your laugh!

I am impressed with your ability to disguise the word of the day. :-) I blame my mother for my fat ass and wide hips - they seem to run in our family. She is also responsible for my fear of clutter. Having been raised in a packrat household, I went the opposite direction. In fact, it was years before I could have even a toaster on my counter without getting a twitch in my eye. From my father I get my ability to curse the air blue although some of the blame for that might also be due to the years I spent carousing with soldiers and sailors.
