<p>Like most folks here, both DH and I grew up on theatre and so did our kids.</p>
<p>One thing I sometimes wonder about, though, is would D have wanted to become a brain surgeon if she’d grown up seeing a lot of surgery, or an attorney if she’d grown up in a courtroom?</p>
<p>I wonder to what extent the family’s love of MT (including her grandparents’) has shaped D’s love for it. Nature, or nurture?</p>
<p>Some things that argue in favor of “nature” are that A) As early as preschool it was apparent that D was in BLISS whenever she was performing or organizing kids to do little shows, and B) S had the same MT upbringing yet has NO interest in being onstage (except in the pit).</p>
<p>So maybe we led our D to water, but we didn’t make her drink.</p>
