Kate is right

Yes. Both very different examples. I took on bits of each and then let my own personality do the rest

Children learn by example not by words.

My dad just yelled at me with rage every time I made a mistake or annoyed him in the slightest. The only things he taught me was how not to annoy him (though to some degree it's inescapable) and that I can't trust others. Not sure what my mom taught me, maybe that I'm always wrong and can't trust myself to say something that's correct.

They certainly tried. And failed. I'm the complete opposite of what they wanted.

I'd say so. I remember when I was a kid I loved taking pictures of peoples dogs and I remember being taught how to ask polity.
