Grandpa sam used to tell his grandkids how he first laid eyes on grandma sylvia. “when i was courting your granny, i was dazzled by her beautiful, long eyelashes. what a looker she was.” “yes, and a handsome man he was too,” said grandma sylvia. sam would blush and bat his own long eyelashes too.
the kids would laugh, and then their other grandparents would add to the discussion. grandma millie would laugh and say, “it’s a good thing grandpa max had money, otherwise no woman would marry a man with such short ” grandma millie would wink her long eyelashes at the kids, letting them know she was kidding. then young barbara cried, “will someone marry me? ” she was worried about her own short eyelashes. “yeah, it’s not fair,” cried donna. “our brothers, scott and michael, mom and dad all got long eyelashes. why did barbara and i get stuck with shrimpy ones? ”
which trait is a dominant, long or short eyelash? what’s your proof?
