Some kids get called 'bundles of joy' or 'slices of heaven' or 'dreams come true.' We got 'the fifty-fourth generation of DNA experiments.' Doesn't have the same warm and fuzzy feel. But maybe I'm oversensitive.

About This Quote

In July of 2010, a high school sophomore named Lily-Grace Burrell received a package from her father, a postdoctoral researcher in genetics at the University of California, Irvine. The package contained several brown envelopes. Inside, her father had written his latest findings, which illuminated the existence of over three hundred additional genetic mutations that he'd discovered in his research. There were no words of apology or acknowledgement of his daughter's existence. He didn't even bother to sign the journal article.
