Reasons I like my genes...

• My height. I actually genuinely like being short. And short jokes? Not that insulting and totally true. I mean...a short joke is better than most jokes about your looks...
• Intelligence. We're a pretty smart bunch.
• Is it fair to say my chest? Some days I hate it (trying on super cute bathing suits that otherwise look pretty kick ass). Some days they're hard to hate...
• My ass. I really like my ass. I need to put on some work-out pants again and admire it.
  
• Possible longevity? My family members (on both sides) are still kicking it. One, well into her nineties. We have five generations around right now. My great-grandma, my grandma, my parents, my cousins and then my cousins children.
  
• Insanity? Although we may be crazy, we're lovably crazy (most of us).
• I guess my metabolism should be commended here. I really should be heavier than I am with the way I eat. Today for instance, I not only ate a donut, but also a piece of cake (and pizza. And a bagel).
• Musical ability. I didn't think I had any (probably because I never tried?). But it turns out I do have rhythm.
  

It occurs to me that it is hard to separate genes from upbringing. I mean, maybe my genes lend themselves to my being intelligent. Or maybe the way I was raised did that?
