My teenage daughter ignores me, but she definitely can't ignore this.

Every day is a story.

She's just like me.

Well, at least 50%.

Zoe just turned 17 years old yesterday, and she's in that teenage stage where she just

kind of tolerates old dad.

And I tolerated too because I want her to be her own person.

I don't want her to be up under me all her life.

I want her to stretch her wings and fly away because dad got a life too, you know.

But I saw this post go down my social media feed recently, and it was talking

about dads and daughters, and how the X chromosome passes on specific genetic trait patterns to

daughters. And I brought it up while we were having dinner at one of Zoe's favorite restaurants in Detroit Park.

She loves one of the meals there.

It's like steak and lobster tail and some other fancy stuff.

The appetizer was pretty good, too.

It was a shortbread or short rib appetizer.

It was pretty good.

But my sister and my ex-wife was there.

So they were listening closely about how the X chromosome affects daughters.

And one of the things is height.
