What Children Inherit from Their Parents

Children inherit many things from their parents genetically. Our children have all inherited Sara's blue eyes. Some say Matthew looks like Sara, some say Anna looks like me, some say Cora looks like Anna. But on another level, do children inherit interests and hobbies? As a child, I really enjoyed drawing. So did my brother John. We would draw all the time. Anna, it seems, has also found this passion. Below is an example of her art.




Notice the block head, inproportionate size of the cranium in comparision to normal humans. The huge, smiling mouth. Stern furrowed brow, yet dull look in the eyes. She has inherited the rest of the Clark family's passion for mocking my dome, it seems, as well.

But at least she's got my sense of humor.
