Daily Peep: Nature v. Nurture

Peeper shares Shrike's genes.

She's shared my diet, and its flavors, since she was a 5-day-old embryo.

Shrike loves broccoli.

I do not.

(Yeah, yeah, there was this. But I've not had a bite of it since well before Peeper was conceived.)

So, let's see what happened today . . . .

Nature: 1 / Nurture: 0

The broccoli was steamed to within a millimeter of its little green life, then run under cold water, and was quite squishy and pathetic by the time I gave it to her.

She gummed and sucked on it quite a bit and seemed to get some loose in her mouth, but it remains to be seen whether she swallowed any.

I'm sure we'll know by tomorrow.
