Subject: [PIATT] Do I have egg on my face? DNA Study
Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2003 13:37:28 -0500 (EST)


We decided that as participants in the Piatt DNA study that my six year old would provide the specimens. I also thought it would be a neat 'Show and Tell' for him for school tomorrow - so - we took pictures. I went by a local one-hour photo and asked the owner (we discuss genealogy a lot as he restores my old photos) if he would mind printing out the last three photos on white paper for me so that Beau could use it for Show and Tell. I told the girl writing down the instructions that he was in white pajamas and looked like he was using a toothbrush - but that it was really a DNA brush that he was using to collect a DNA specimen. Then, someone interrupted to ask what year my Suburban was and made go outside with them so that I could show them the interior. As I was driving away, it occurred to me that I never told them why Beau was submitting his DNA. The only logical reason to most people would be that I was trying to determine who his father is!! Have a great day, Mari!
