FUN HOUSE
Was this characteristic inherited?

While decorating the Christmas tree last month, I asked my husband, Wendell, to hold a new garland made of wire and crystal stars I had just tied together into one piece, so I could string it on the tree.

When I turned back from looking at the tree, I saw that he had untied it into three pieces. (He said they were tangled.)

Later that evening, Wendell and my oldest son, Kendell, finished decorating the tree. Wendell gave Kendell a paper, origami-like ornament to hang.

A few moments later, I heard Kendell asking, "Uh, how do I put it back together?"

Like father, like son.
