I know what you mean about "collective humor." Our family, even extended family, has the same sense of humor, and I can already see it coming out in my son. Thanks for posting! Thanks!

Sam talks like me (the American accent stands out here), but is so much like his dad in other ways. Sam's feet look just like his dad's and his tastes are exactly the same...they both LOVE eating fish eyes, for example. (Yuck) He even has a small divot on the edge of his ear just like one Mark has. Sam's facisnation with animals and complete disregard for any car-type toys shows a preference tendency that follows my own, too.<br /> Cj, still pre-verbal, imitates so many of my sounds and gestures...many I wasn't even aware of until she started 'doing' me.<br /> And both are so funny. They make jokes, and even more importantly the GET jokes. My family has always chalked up our collective humor as genetic, but these two are right in there with it!<br /> So true, Lori.
