This kind, however, sounds a bit ugly, but what family reminiscences to have.Brett Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706734864792449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249158022937816424.post-28992559163208572842011-11-13T16:49:20.566-08:002011-11-13T16:49:20.566-08:00How wonderful to be able to see the personalities ...How wonderful to be able to see the personalities of your ancestors so clearly.

Probably learned behavior (throwing plates) and unlearned behavior (self-control).
