   Brings in orange scones and low-fat milk for the philosophers et al., then surreptitiously installs a mirror on the wall so Grumbling Room participants may even more surreptitiously peek at Our IX Lives through the crack in the door without turning their heads.

   For those of you who are morning people, this is an interesting article that came out last year about the possibility that this trait comes from Neanderthal DNA passed on to us. Apparently, the more Neanderthal DNA you have (and most of us have some,) the more likely you are an early riser. Here’s a quote from the article: “Some people today might be early risers because of DNA they inherited from Neanderthals tens of thousands of years ago, suggests new research published Thursday in the journal Genome Biology and Evolution.” And: “For Neanderthals, being “morning people,” might not have been the real benefit of carrying these genes. Instead, scientists suggest, Neanderthals’ DNA gave them faster, more flexible internal body clocks, which allowed them to adjust more easily to annual changes in daylight.”

    It felt like bullying to my dad and me! As we sat at the breakfast table, bleary-eyed and non-vocal, she’d chirp at us that we were a couple of “grumpy bears” (sorry Gent) and that she didn’t know what was wrong with us. Then, she’d say how she loved to get-up “singing with the birds.” This would go on for several minutes non-stop as daddy and I gave each other the side-eye. We knew not to say a word to her because it would go on longer. She was chirpy in the morning which was fine but the judgement from her that we weren’t was too much to take that early.
