Theres always something your parents did when you were young(or still do) that you do yourself and dont reliase ya do it half the time!:rolleyes:

For me its my father

When we were kids and were bold he would say "Ill use the wooden spoon on you" or if he caught us sneaking sweets hes chase us and say "Get outta it(in a v rough irish accent,almost like he had phlem in his throat)

I said both of those sayings to my nieces last week and my sister was in bits laughing and said "You sound just like dad":D

Or when he took the first sip of a pint he would say "Ah thats Bass " and i do that as well

So what traits do ya unknownly get from your parents?

EDIT: I dont know why im said "he did" or "he would" cos hes still alive and still does them

I tidied the shed out recently.
I don't use the shed, I just tidied it because it could do with it.

I smiled to myself when I realised how like my dad that was of me.

Give out about the price of just about everything. Dozing off in the evenings in front of the fire.

I woke up at 6am the other morning and started mounting my projector to my ceiling. I had no reason for doing it at that time except that I felt like it. Reminded me of the way when I was younger I'd go to bed one night, wake up the next morning come downstairs and the walls would be a different colour. My mam would always get her fits in the middle of the night, it would either be painting, or else she'd come in and wake me up asking to help her move a wardrobe downstairs.

Developed a habit recently of coming home and putting my feet up, turning on Newstalk and having a nice cup of tea and a KitKat. I'm becoming more and more like my father!

When I see kids on the street up to no good, I always mutter to myself "bloody kids" or somethin.

I give out about everything though.

My father did and still does it all the time.

I only realised recently how many of his mannerisms I have developed.

A quick google explains that:

Oedipus was the son of Laius and Jocasta. At his birth it was prophesied that he would murder his father and marry his mother. To avoid this calamity, the child was given to a herdsman who was told to kill him. The herdsman, out of pity and yet fearing to disobey, instead abandoned the child, tying him by his feet and hanging him from a tree-branch (which caused him to permanently have swollen feet - hence Oedipus which translates to "swollen foot"). The child Oedipus was found by a peasant who took him to his master, the king of Corinth, Polybus, who adopted him as his own son.

Many years later Oedipus heard of the oracle that he was going to kill his father and wed his mother. He was frightened and in his attempt to evade the dictates of the oracle he decided to flee from home to Thebes on the other side of the mountain.
