As my boys have grown, it’s been very interesting to see which personality traits they’ve inherited from Jim and me. While I have felt terrible when we’ve discovered certain that some of the less desirable characteristics have been passed down—cough, cough, procrastination, cough, cough—I have laughed a little bit at others. Here’s an example.
This conversation happens several times a week in my house, year-round:
Jim: “What do you have going on today?”
Me: “Ugh, so much. My to do list is miles long.”
This conversation happened on Tuesday:
Jim: “What do you have going on today?”
D: “Ugh, a lot. My to do list is six and a half miles long.”
Me: “THAT’S MY BOY!!”
What can I say? There’s nothing better than a good to do list, except for someone who has a high level of appreciation for a good to do list.

Well that is 3 generations of To Do Lists. I know your Dad doesn’t like to see them, it usually means there is something for him to do on it. But that is the way the cookie crumbles.

Wunderlist is one of my favorite apps, if that tells you anything about me.

It was in our vows that C-Man is supposed to help me check things off lists for as long as we both shall live. He is so NOT a list person that I’m waiting to see who Boy Detective ends up taking after.
