Blueprints?
Will my ears grow long as Grandpa's? What makes us look like kin? Tell me where'd I get long eyelashes and where'd I get my chin? Where'd I get my ice cream sweet tooth and this nose that wiggles when I talk? Where's I get my dizzy daydreams and my foot-rolling, side-step walk? Did I inherit my sense of humor and these crooked, ugly toes? What if I balloon like Uncle Harry and have to shave my nose? How long after I start growing until I start to shrink? Am I going to lose my teeth, some day? My hair? My mind? Do you think I'll be tall or short or thin or bursting at the seams? Am I naturally this crazy? Is it something in my genes? I'm more than who I am, I'm also who I'm from. It's a scary speculation-- Who will I become?
