My 10-year-old wants to know where certain of her personality traits and characteristics come from. This week’s Edgy Mama column arose from conversations with her about heredity and genealogy. I had some technical difficulties with the audio on my introduction, but here’s a short clip of me reading a paragraph from the column, which goes to show where the feisty comes from.

Before you comment
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
You’re a natural EM…
A little more light will help…
The intro music however, how shall I put this, reminds me of a different genre of video…
Let’s just say I was waiting for the pizza guy to show up…
And I’m just going to stop myself right there…
Tatuaje,
The music would be Mt. X’s multimedia editor’s choice. What kind of pizza did you order?
“What kind of pizza did you order? ”
Spankey’s
Well, up until a week ago,it would’ve been straight veggie…spinach with feta, maybe some jalapenos.
But Edgy Mama gets the scoop. I’m once again a carnivore…or rather a local omnivore…
So if I was having pizza tonight, it would probably be your classic cheese with some ground beef from Hickory Nut Gap.
Just don’t tell Ralph…
