Mom: What? Who are my aunt’s sisters?? WHO are MY AUNT’S sisters?? Wait a minute.. umm.. that’s.. ok, I haven’t even had my coffee.. Well, that’s Nanni.. Nanni would be my aunt’s sister. Why are you asking me that?

Pop: Are they all from the same place?

Mom: You mean her sisters? Nanni and her sisters are from the same place.. of course.. they’re sisters, right?

Pop:  Mom! How was your class! Did you talk about me! Did you talk about me!! Mom:  Haha, actually I did. We talked about nature versus nurture.  So of course, I had to speak about my favorite set of twins :) Pop:  Which one am I?! Which one am I?! Mom:  Haha, well, it doesn’t quite work that way.  It’s not about which one you are.  Pop:  What’s the difference between... what’s the two words again? Nature and what else? Crackle:  It's simple.  Nature is what God gave you and Nurture is what Mom gave you.  Mom:  WHAT did you say???  Wait a minute...  Are you reading my text book again? Are you up to Chapter 3?!

That is a very beautiful and noble idea. We'll explore it together - as a family.  You know, there is a man who wrote a song about this very thing.  Let’s listen to it.  Pop: Really?  So I’m not the only one?  Mom: No, you are not. Pop: Well, I really didn’t think I was the only one.  But... can I talk to him? Maybe we could work on this together?
