Growing into Similarity

When I was little I would always tease my mother because she was always cold and I wasn't. Now I'm always cold too and so now I often wear overshirts just like she and my dad do.
I went on a road trip the past couple of days and I really enjoyed looking at the scenery. The rolling hills of winter wheat and the winding mountain pass alongside a spring flood high river surrounded by pine trees were beautiful. I remember road trips where my mom was always telling us kids to stop reading and enjoy the scenery and I always thought, "why bother."
I think I'm a lot like both of my parents and some of the things that seemed different between us when I was a child now seem like they were an age thing not a personality thing.
