We just got pictures of the Colorado nephews today in the mail. At first, I thought we’d only received pictures of one of the nephews! Granted, I was looking at the pictures upside-down as Rich looked at them, and they WERE dressed alike, but I couldn’t believe how alike they looked! And they are stinking cute kids.

And that makes me wonder – yet again – would Rich and I have cute kids? I keep imagining short legged, long fingered, allergied, near-sighted, uncoordinated children with LOTS of hair, a clown chin (like mine), big bones, and big ears (like mine). Sheesh, I nearly described a neanderthal, I think.

And I imagine little nerds running around the house, playing piano, playing board games, citing random pieces of trivia their father teaches them, not to mention numerous sarcastic comments and OCD behaviors (which I can only imagine I’d wish would translate into organized rooms). Oh, and they’ll be stubborn, loud little children. They’ll have to be loud…else their parents probably won’t hear them! And they’ll talk a lot. Hopefully, they’ll read a lot.

And then, what if we have one child who is totally the opposite? We’d probably wonder where on earth that child got their genes.

On a random tangent – Rich mentioned the other day that sarcasm has been found to be a sign of evolved intelligence. I suppose the Johnson family is a highly evolved group, then and future generations will only continue that evolution.

Scary.
