Talking

Sitting around and talking with my siblings about any topic that comes to mind is simply the best. We usually sit and talk the most on either holidays or during Sunday dinner each week.
We start the conversation by talking about how our days went and then go from there. We follow any new topic that is presented in the conversation.

Today, one interesting topic of conversation we came across was the genetic skin condition we all have. The condition is called Keratosis Pilaris. According to Wikipedia, it “is a common, autosomal dominant, genetic follicular condition characterized by the appearance of rough, slightly red bumps on light skin and brown bumps on darker skin.” I never knew that this skin condition we all had was genetic, but it finally all makes sense. Apparently, it is supposed to fade away when you are around the age of 30. Also, exfoliating is supposed to help it not be as noticeable.

Today, we also talked about what kinds of music we like. We reminisced about when we first had our iPods and the first music we listened to (I had the gold brick iPod in 1st grade and was the only first grader who had one––how the times have changed). All of the music I had on my iPod was from Dad’s iPod. So I had Billy Joel, James Taylor, Chicago, Enya, MoTab, Neil Diamond, Mozart, Faith Hill, and so many more. These artists were the only ones I listened to for a very long time, and I thought they were cool. However, once Spencer was old enough to develop his own taste in music, we younger siblings followed his lead. I still love to listen to the artists Dad introduced me to, though––they’re classics.
