What gets to me is when I say something and then realize I used the same expression as my parents did and I get this mental image seeing my dad in myself.  I shudder at the thought! 

 I started to write a book one time titled "Things I Will Never Do or Say Again!"  The book was getting so big I gave up! 

 Truthfully, and I tell my students all the time that they should go home, look at their parents. Then they should realize that they are looking at themselves 20 years from now!
