Things I got from my ancestors and ain't ne'er asked for no how
premature grey hairs – papa
male pattern baldness – who knows
the burden of having the Sun literally rise and set inside of my pants – Grandma (maternal)
a taste for cheap beer and nylons in my mouth – Grandaddy #1
the ability to read the printed word – great Uncle (maternal)
x-ray vision glasses – a gift from my cousin on my number twelve birthday
a sense of doom – that guy who used to stay with us sometimes
the ability to fly – papa (redux)
a keen sense of wit – Pawpaw (aka Grandaddy #2)
fingernails – apparently everyone has these now?
