古早時候小嬰兒滿一歲的時候要抓週，這好像頗有名，Chris 就問過我相關的事，只是她弄錯了以為是滿月就要抓。抓週的理由是認為小嬰兒對哪個東西有興趣將來就很有機會在那方面出人頭地，算是古時的性向測驗吧。賈寶玉當初就是抓週時撿了個脂粉盒子結果被他老爸打得半死，認為他一輩子只會窩在脂粉堆裡，不過事後看來也蠻準的啦。
在家裡為了不讓凡凡「爬爬走」三不五時爬到玄關品嘗把玩各種品牌樣式的鞋子，我們放了張海報將客廳與玄關隔開，框子是 Shattuck House 鄰居留下來的，海報則是凡凡在媽媽肚子裡還只有葡萄那麼大的時候，網路上跟一些研究單位要來有關人類染色體的教學海報。凡凡似乎對海報十分感興趣，或許可以做為將來發展職業的參考。
By seeing this beautiful human chromosome graph,
- if FanFan is thinking about "genetic linkage" or "mutations", maybe FanFan could be a Geneticist. Although it is a little bit out of fashion and less and less people do these things now.
- if FanFan is thinking about "cloning" stuffs, maybe FanFan could be a Molecular Biologist. Although there are millions molecular biologists already, doing similar things nowadays.
- if FanFan is thinking about "genome-wide" ideas, maybe FanFan could be a Systems Biologist. Althuogh it's a very bad idea because more and more people claim themselves as systems biologists but actually no one knows what that means.
- if FanFan is thinking about "wow! it's a cool poster although I'm not interested in what that is", hmm... maybe FanFan could be a Normal Ordinary Person without making the wrong decision to go to Graduate Schools in the future. That is good enough for me.
