Last night while we were sitting on the couch watching Top Chef<\/i>, and my daughter randomly pinched me on the arm. I looked at her and said “Hey, what was that for?”
\n“I just wanted to see what you would do…”
\n“Huh?”
\n“Well, I did this to each of my brothers and they all had very different reactions.”
\nAccording to Rosey Posey, when she pinched Posco (11), his reaction was “Hey! What the heck?!?c What was that for?”
\nFastolph (8) started laughing hysterically.
\nGorbulas (5) started crying hysterically.
\nFredegar (2) hauled off and punched her.
\nRosey Posey said she thought it was a funny experiment (no doubt partly because she got to inflict pain on her siblings in the name of “experimentation”) because they reacted so differently.
\nIt made me think that when I had my first one, I really thought her personality had so much to do with the way I shaped her. I kept looking at everything she did and thought “she does this because I was like that when I was small,”. Yet you can have 18 kids and raise them in the same household, with the same hobbies and values, yet have 18 distinct personalities. Some of my childen don’t do a darn thing like I ever would. I get tired thinking about God instilling seperate personalities into four boys, let alone 6 billion people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
