Double Dose

A while back we saw the movie Little Fockers with our great friends, John and BJ. If you have seen the movie you know what "Double Dose" means but if you have not I will explain.

In the movie the father-in-law tells Greg that his son has a "double dose of Focker in him". He said that sometimes the father can contribute both chromosomes to the child, therefore giving him a double dose of the father's DNA.

Immediately after this scene, Ross and I looked at each other and said "Drake".

All of you who know Drake, know he looks and acts exactly like his father.

This morning, Drake let our dog, Capone, out to go to the bathroom. Ross and I were still in bed. After letting the dog out Drake turned on cartoons and sat down on the couch. Mason was also up watching cartoons. We heard Capone start barking to come back in, there is still 6 inches of snow on the ground. Capone barked and barked and barked for like 15 minutes. I knew Drake was sitting 10 feet from the door with the barking dog watching TV. Ross was getting very agitated at this point. He asked why Drake was not letting Capone inside. I said... Double Dose!! Ross hears nothing if he is watching TV. I went out into the living room and said "Drake". He looked up and said "what... Oh yeah". Classic Ross!

A few weeks after seeing the movie, Ross' mom Valorie was at our house. We were talking about how much Drake is like Ross. So I said well he could have a "Double Dose" of Ross. Then I told her I had read somewhere that the father could give both chromosomes to the child. I said it like it was totally true and at the time I thought I had read it. Most things I read are in scientific journals so usually they are true. She believed me and that was all that was said. Later when Ross got home, I told him about his mom and my conversation. I told him I couldn't remember where I read that study. He laughed and said you didn't read any study it was on Little Fockers!!!!!! I had to call Valorie and tell her that was not true!

Double Dose!!!
