Here is Pam. Her name is just Pam, she doesn’t have a last name because our family doesn’t believe in the importance of last names, and we believe that Pam can chose her own last name when she grows up. Straight out of the womb, she developed a passion for sports, breaking gender boundries and becoming an icon at the early age of birth. But, she also loves the mall and we noticed that she was carrying a purse right after she entered her new life.

As you can tell by the portrait of Pam, obviously taken by a camera and not hand-drawn, she has a vast array of gorgeous qualities that make Pam, Pam-azing. She has a gorgeous round face that reminds her of her favorite fruit, watermelons. She has a cleft in her chin that she likes to keeps snacks in during her sporting events. Her skin is very dark brown which is quite confusing since her mother is Asian and her father is Caucasian, but who are we to argue with nature? She has curly hair, brown eyes, and my personal favorite quality of hers, very bushy eyebrows. I think she has this quality because she loves bushes. She has large eyes that compliment her glasses. She has almond shaped eyes that are horizontal, which is a common trait in our family. She has long eyelashes and thick lips. Sometimes she thinks her lips are too big since they get in the way of her football helmet. Did I mention her mouth is very long? She has a large nose. Isn’t that lovely? Maybe this is why she has allergies during the Spring. She has an ear pit that is the size of a marble, and no ear hairs. Sadly, she doesn’t have any freckles on her cheek, but luckily she has some lovely freckles scattered on her forehead. Doesn’t she sound beautiful? But it’s not what’s on the outside that matters, it’s that she inherited the big hearts that her parents have.

The coin flip relates to the probability of inheriting genetic conditions because it’s sort of like real life. We take both qualities that the parents have and use that genetic information to see which quality the baby has. It also relates to the probability since if one parent had a dominant quality, the baby would have it too, just like real life.

I think this isn’t the most accurate thing since we did not use the qualities that we have in real life to make our baby. I don’t think we use coins to depict what our baby will look like. But, like real life, we used our two (imaginary) qualities and used them to depict what our baby would look like. So, if we used our actual qualities, this might have been more accurate.

I think prejudices are something that was created long ago, when the world was only used to one type of person. I like to think that everyone’s traits are great, but since the question asks about what traits I think my child has that are desirable, I think all of her traits are. I think people create these prejudices because they are used to seeing what they think is ‘normal’ and what they are used to, and once they see something that is so called ‘weird’ they start to react differently. Luckily, it’s 2018 and our society is starting to praise people who are different, which is 100% different 100 years ago. And it should be like this, since the qualities that people have are what they are born with, and they can’t change them.
