What physical characteristics or personality traits do
you wish you had inherited from your other parent?I'd like to have had my dad's keen
eyes, fair coloring and single-mindedness. Physically, I'm more like my mother, but I wish
I had her even temper.

Actually, I'm quite please with my genetic
inheritance and am happy to have inherited well from both sides. I do however, hope that I
inherit the long and good health from my mom and the not somewhat spotty health of my dad.

Sometimes, I wish I had the beauty of my
mother... she was wonderful, long, black hair going down to her hips... I have simple
brown hair, and I inherited from my father that it starts to cede soon...
But in the last seven months, I have been
together online with a wonderful girl, and although we haven't met yet, I don't feel so
ugly anymore because there is a person out there who likes me for what I am, and not for
what I look like.
Yes, I think in such moments as those I have
with her, I'm simple and plain happy, and that feels good.

Did I really fashion a question
without a clear referent? Neither of my parents would
have approved. Shame on me.

I guess I would say that with my father, the
physical trait I wish I would have inherited would have been his weight. He was
6"1" and weighed 180. I am 5"6 and weigh 190. Of course I have taken
medicine's he never took that can cause weight gain and I have a thyroid problem also that
he did not have.
As for my mother I wish I would have picked
up her creativity and artistic ability. She outs some of it ot use in her crafts.

Actually, my physical characteristics and
personality that stem from a combination of my mother and my father of only 2 years,
turned out great. But I would say I am more like my mother by 10 fold. She is my
hero and my friend. Growing up without a father wasn't tough at all, especially with a
woman like her.

This is a little weird, but I wish I'd
inherited my mom's longer torso and narrower waist, as opposed to my build. I have really
long legs and a short, kinda thick torso that is incredibly hard to tone!

I honestly can't think of any.

None! I dont want to be anything like my
parents! Ack!

From my other parent? As opposed to the one
I got all my traits from?

To not complain about physical ailments.

My mother was patience personified.
Me? I don't even like to wait for the water to boil
when I'm making a cup of tea.

What would I do with such a Monkey's Paw?
1. I'd wish I had a a little bit
more pleasant look
2. I'd wish I could be together with the girl of my dreams, with whom I chat a lot but haven't seen or met yet, the rest of my life
3. I'd wish that at every point in my life when there's a hard situation, I will stay cool
enough to make the right decision and always keep a feeling of security

I would like to be more out-going and
comfortable in social situations like my Mom rather than shy and quiet like my Dad.
Deb
I most inherited my traits from my dad, for
which I am glad. My mother had quite a few traits that I am glad that she did not pass on
to me. However, she also had some good ones, that I wish she had passed on to me. She
loved her flowers, and I kill plastic plants. She could make the best herb bread you could
ever eat, and I never got the knack. But mostly, I wish I had her hospitality trait. She
loved people and knew how to entertain and do things to make people happy. She is gone
now, and those traits are gone too, but, I have a lot of good memories of her.

Although I inherited his dry sense of
humour, my father is very laid back and easy going, and I wish I could be more like that.
I can seem cold and miserable at times (but then most teenagers do at some time) but I
feel like my father could get on well with Satan. I'd like to be as amicable as him.

I have no idea. My parents divorced
when I wasn't even two years old, so I never knew my
biological father.

my mother's high metabolism and my father's
ability to show emotion.

I want my Mom's lack of facial hair, I hate
shaving.
Eric, 19

I inherited so much from my mother, it's
almost scary. That's fine but I DO wish I'd inherited my father's friendliness and
likability. Most people liked my father as soon as they met him.
