What’s something you picked up from someone from your past and incorporated into your personality?

1. my favorite movie was recommended to my by a guy I sent a pic of my boobs to once

2. I knew this guy who would wag this finger in my face whenever he was teasing me (it would be something silly/funny) and I would try to bite it as a part of the gimmick. Now my response to anything that is annoying me is to bite the air and now I’m the weird one.

3. When I first met my husband he spoke with this really distinct cadence. It was really animated and engaging and I unintentionally picked it up myself. We were only in the same friend group, never hanging out one on one and then he joined the army. He went off to basic and I didn’t see or speak to him again for 4 years. Now we’re married with a baby but we still have a similar cadence. I’m sure our kid will have it too.

4. My ex used to jockingly demand $5 everytime he did something for me. For example I would say “babe, thanks for waking me up on time” and he would respond with “5 dollars!”

   Now I go saying “5 dollars” everytime someone thanks me for a little favor. (My dad has started to say it too).

5. saying “thank you” instead of “I’m sorry”
