ok so i got the idea from the sweaty palms thread

i have poor eyesight so i wear contacts/glasses, got that from my dad. my bro wears contacts/glasses too

i also get really bad canker sores, so i gotta eat lots of vitamin c. i hear only 3% of the world has this problem, damnit! it sucks cause i can never eat ketchup when i get one cause it hurts like nuts, and any contact to it makes it kill. theyve gotten better though cause i brush really well now and when i feel one coming on i eat like 1800% of my daily vitamin c lol

anyway, whats yours?

-i was born a ginger with blue eyes, now i'm blond. (everyone else has black hair and brown eyes) no idea where the gingerness came from, but my grandma is the only person in my whole extended family with blue eyes and blond hair so those come from her.

-ridiculously good sense of direction from my dad

I have a small 3rd nipple. Or at least I used to. I just spent 2 minutes trying to find it.

i have the exact same thing, like even the same stances and stuff in all those different sports except jujitsu because ive never tried it. left handed writing, regular stance, backside spins are more comfortable. i also play right handed guitar. its so weird

i can spin smaller jumps easier right side, but naturally i spin left and it feels more comfortable with big jumps.

for lacrosse i can throw more comfortable left handed but more accurate right handed.

small feet, and we have the same teeth setup, and similar face overall.and i dont think it can be from my mom, maybe grandma or grandpa but math clicks really well for me and my brother.

from my dad...
I have a bad back, and cant tan that fast.

from my grandma on dads side...
can eat as much as i want without gaining weight.
