Universal Genes

Father’s Daughter

I am my father’s daughter
We share the same blood
We have the same genes

I am my father’s daughter
We share the same personality
We have the same characteristics

I am also my mother’s daughter
We share the same capabilities
We have the same outlook

But really
Essentially
I am my father’s daughter

I hate to admit it, but common sayings are right:

Father’s daughters
Mother’s sons

Yours truly always knew I am the combination of both my parents. Not necessarily the best combination of both, but yours truly’s vanity would like to assume that she has the best of both, thank you very much.

But it has always been on the edge of my awareness that I am more my father than I am my mother. While from appearance and on the surface, I am very much my mother’s daughter but if you prod deeper, I am never as like my mother as I am my father. I can never think in the same manner as my mother unlike my brother. In other words, I am my father’s daughter and my brother my mother’s son.

How quaint. How typical

Perhaps such is the case universally?

Or perhaps not

It is afterall, more ego-boosting to think me and my family unique.

But really, yours truly was never that egoistical.

Are you?

I think

Yes.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

Then again, you probably had it coming. Yes? *archly*
