Today we celebrated my dad's birthday. In other words, today was one of the few days that I was in the same room with my parents for more than 5 minutes. Since I had them both with me, I decided to ask a very serious question and give them both a chance to anwer.
I said, "Mom, before my brother and I were born and you saw what beautiful children we were, did you ever worry that we'd be ugly?"
My mom replied, "What a terrible thing to ask. I was too busy worrying about whether or not you'd be healthy. But I did wonder what you'd look like. Of course every parent wants beautiful children..."
My dad jumped in and said, "I was never worried because your mother was the most beautiful woman I knew, so I knew it would be fine..."
My mom cuts him off, "She knows that; she was asking if I ever worried because they had 50% of your genes to overcome."
FIN.
