Do you automatically turn into one of your parents when you are 65?
I’ve noticed lately that I seem to have developed a couple of habits that really annoyed me in my father. He used to walk around the house whistling tunelessly, in fact silently. More of a blowing than a whistling – and it was really irritating!
The other day I was with some friends and was getting cross about something when one of them said ‘We can tell you’re not happy because you’re sort of whistling silently’. I was mortified and am now totally paranoid when I suddenly notice that I am doing just that if I’m concentrating or doing something difficult.
