Owen remembered a time when most sinks in public bathrooms had handles with which one could turn on the water and adjust its temperature and flow.

It's as if your DNA has a sense of humor, ensuring that no matter how hard you try to reinvent yourself, you'll find yourself laughing like your dad at bad jokes, hoarding condiments like your mom, or even adopting grandpa's infamous eyebrow wiggle during serious conversations. This cosmic joke of nature proves that you can take the person out of the family, but you can't take the family out of the person. So next time you catch yourself saying, "I'll never be like my parents!" remember, regression to the gene waits for no one, ready to remind you that family traits stick closer than that one sock you can't seem to get rid of.
