As your children start developing a personality, it’s awfully tempting to try to fit them in a box. Namely a hereditary box. We see (or try to see, I guess) ourselves in their actions. We try to figure out where they may have “picked that up”. For instance, the way Nicholas gets frustrated and throws a sh*t fit kinda, sorta, maybe looks like something his mom might do. And maybe, kinda, perhaps, Sebastian’s short attention span resembles his dad’s.

And then, sometimes, their behaviour so obviously, so unquestionably, originates from one of us that it’s a veritable impersonation. Sorta, kinda, maybe a caricature.
