Is there a trait you have that relatives make fun of you for?

Asked by wundayatta (58722points) December 28th, 2010

My kids are constantly imitating my laugh. I was never aware of it until they decided to mimic me, and suddenly I realized that I do this kind of sniffing laugh that sounds pretty ridiculous, but I’ve been doing it so long, I can’t stop it. I don’t think I know how to laugh any other way.

Sometimes they’ll deliberately get me laughing just so they can start copying me, and make fun of the way I laugh. Sigh. I tell myself that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. My son will sometimes just copy every move I make—being me, he says. He does it, ostensibly, to make fun of me, but I also think he does wonder what it would be like to be me.

So children, parents, cousins, Grandparents or grandkids, etc, etc. What trait of yours do they use to make fun of you or pick on you?
