“Well, duh.”

(He’s from California. He can say that.)

This is imprinting

Like Parker, I didn’t realize that Neo was writing with tongue in cheek. There aren’t the nonverbal cues available on online writing.

Being there in person is not always of assistance in detecting humor. My humor is of the dry, deadpan sort. One occasion I have said something which I intended to be humorous which was taken seriously. “That was a joke,” I said.

I was just being cute (or attempting to be cute). My point is that, for these girls, they chose as more important the parents who raised them over the ones who gave them their genetic makeup. This is not surprising, and really has little to do with the nature-nurture controversy.

In extreme cases the environment in which we are raised can have a profound influence on our attitudes and personalities; but typically our genetic inheritance plays a dominate role. The apple does not often fall far from the tree.

They refer to the adoptive father as their father and to the biological father as their genitor.
