How did you win the gene lottery and vice versa?

I've mastered breathing, have 11 toes and can count from 1 to 20.

With 11 toes, why not 21?

I've been told I have nice eyes. I have long legs, despite being fairly short. I'm lucky with my build, as I manage to maintain my weight without really trying. I very rarely get ill - I've never had the flu.

On the flip side, I had no lateral incisors, and my canines were buried in the roof of my mouth which resulted in surgery and a lot of dental work in my teens. I also have a bunch of autoimmune problems. And allergies, thanks to my overactive immune system!

My parents are both very intelligent, so, well, y'know My dad has always been slim and I definitely picked that up off him. I also inherited my dad's punctuality but that is probably an environmental thing I picked up from him rather than genetic

There is male baldness on both sides of the family so yeah, welp. Also my mother's blood is the kind that insects like to feast on and I inherited that. My dad and my brother remain unaffected!

I have no idea where I picked up my sense of humour or my height. My mother is tiny and I'm a fair few inches taller than my Dad.

There's no easy way to say this... they adopted you from me.

That's where she lost the lottery.

>>> The only way to win that is being born into a rich family. I didnt..

[Mirage]

so only rich people have positive traits?

I have a few and my parents are working class dairy farmers

[black orb]

>>> Well they have lots of money, thats quite positive you know..

[Mirage]

Yeah, and?

Is it, in your opinion, the only positive trait that exists in the world? Also, do you think it is genetic?

>>> I never said it was the only positive trait, intelligence to not waste the money on stupid stuff is another positive trait. And of course it has nothing to do with genetic. Is more like having good luck, like the good luck you need to win a lottery..

[Mirage]

Actually you did say it was the only way to win the lottery.

Can't you just be positive and say "i'm good at drawing" or something instead?

>>> Thats more like a skill it has nothing to do with genes. My parents cant draw to save their life.
When it comes to genes well I have two legs two arms i wasnt born blind, deaf or anything serious (like most of the people out there). I cant complain though, being born with a normal/healthy body is considered good luck too (not lottery winning luck, but good luck anyways)..

[Mirage]

It has more to do with your genes than being rich

And see, I knew you could find something positive if you just tried!

(not lottery winning luck, but good luck anyways)..

a "lottery" doesnt always necesarily have a billion in one chance to win, just to jackpot. Theres also the smaller cash prizes for getting a few numbers as well as less conventional lottery like the conscription lottery.
