Cassity's Christmas Paternity Test

If you know our daughter Cassity, you know that she is not your average 10 year old.  Cass loves history and genealogy. She and my mom are interested in learning about our family's history.  They share a membership to ancestry.com and watch shows like WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? This child enjoys sipping coffee and watching the news for the weather report.

I am not kidding.




This year, my parents got Cassity a DNA test for Christmas.

At least, that is what she is telling everyone. EVERYONE!


She is correct, they did get her a DNA test but NOT the kind of DNA test that most of us are used to hearing about.




No..no..no....Not the Maury Show kind of DNA test.... not a Paternity Test!!!!!


..but the kind from Ancestry.com


Ancestry.com has  assembled one of the most comprehensive DNA datasets from around the world to compare to your DNA signature and help determine your ethnicity..



FYI: Her results are in!!  She is 100% European
Broken down, her results were:
42% Europe West
21% Scandinavia
21% Ireland
7% Great Britain
4% unidentified regions



So if you aren't trecking with me yet, the funny part of this is:


Cassity is too sweet and innocent to know that she needs to clarify a minor detail when she tells teachers, youth leaders, and random strangers that she received a DNA test for Christmas.


She doesn't know about The Maury Show or about paternity testing.


She doesn't understand that when she tells people that she received a DNA test for Christmas that people are lead to believe that ....perhaps... Adam is NOT her father and Leslie is a real tramp.





I would like to publically clarify, once and for all, that Adam IS 100% Cassity's father.











Merry Christmas
