So, that means if my son and his 1st cousins baby looked alike at a certain age, then, my sister and I must carry a trait that we've passed down to where 2nd cousins look alike. It's confusing, but, I do know exactly what Gayle is talking about |
Like I said, I'm not contributing to the yorkie/beiwer debate. It's just incorrect to say that grandchildren came "directly" from grandparents, because they didn't. "Direct" would refer to the following generation. Grandparents/grandchildren relationship is "indirect".
What you are saying is fine, and I'm sure that's what she meant but did not correctly say.
As a mathematician, poor logic bugs me.
