You know how they say that certain gifts and characteristics 'skip a generation'? Isn't that funny? Like My grandmother was a hoarder, she kept absolutely everything, bits of string from post packages, ribbons from presents, everything! But this was probably ingrained into her from living through ww2 and not having anything. And my mother throws away everything, I remember having to chase her down the path to get her to give me back my toys that she was ready to turf! My brother had warned me, lol. And me.....hoarder. lol
But it's funny in that my grandmother was also had a Science degree and she became a teacher, teaching both Science and Mathematics. Whereas that skill seems to have gone completely up in smoke. My mother and I are both hopeless in those departments and have seemed to come up with our own skills in the artistic department. My mother draws and paints and I write.
Isn't it wierd how some of our talents seem to come from absolutely nowhere, like we don't take after anybody, and sometimes our family's talents are not given to anybody whatsoever. Maybe my daughter will be something like an Olympic champion even though we don't have any sports talents in the family lol!
