Dunno about kids latching onto the things you personally like though. Sometimes the opposite happens. Sometimes the athletic, outdoor-loving dad gets the introverted bookworm. But that's okay too -- you're getting to know your kid just as they're getting to know you.
The wonderful thing about your own kids is that they accept you for who you are. That's why the very least that we can do is to accept who they are in turn, and try to help them go where they wanna go.
Love that Steinbeck anecdote.
