Question of the month: Is the love for bostons hereditary in humans?

♦ Do you know these women "Anne & Anneli / Marjukka & Hannele / Satu & Sirpa / Aulikki & Eeva / Hele & Seija / Lise-Lott & Laila" . All of the have fallen in love with bostons and they are mothers and daughters. All of these have their own Miniblack's bostons ... Some of them have even more than one or two.
And we laughed so..
Veeti - the father and father's father - wishes all the fathers
