Chapter 7 The Owl

🎭 La Muñeca de Sofía 🎭

Sofía encontró una muñeca antigua en un mercado de antigüedades. Sus ojos de vidrio parecían seguirla a donde fuera, pero a pesar de lo inquietante que era, decidió comprarla. Al llegar a casa, la colocó en su habitación, sin notar que, desde ese momento, pequeños sucesos extraños comenzaron a ocurrir: las luces parpadeaban, los objetos cambiaban de lugar y, por las noches, juraba escuchar susurros.

Una noche, Sofía despertó con una sensación extraña. Miró hacia su escritorio y vio la muñeca… pero esta ya no estaba sentada donde la había dejado. Ahora estaba en la silla, frente a su cama, con su cabeza inclinada como si la estuviera observando. Atemorizada, la tomó y la guardó en un armario, pero al día siguiente, la muñeca apareció nuevamente sobre su cama, con una siniestra sonrisa en su rostro.

Desesperada, Sofía llevó la muñeca de vuelta al mercado, pero el vendedor la miró con sorpresa. “Esa muñeca… yo nunca te la vendí”, dijo con un escalofrío en la voz. En ese instante, la muñeca cayó al suelo y se escuchó una risa tenue en el aire. Sofía salió corriendo sin mirar atrás, jurando no volver a comprar nada en ese lugar. Pero cuando llegó a casa, su corazón se detuvo: la muñeca la estaba esperando en su habitación.

Being a picky eater can mean a number of different things. It may describe someone who doesn't like to try new foods, or someone who prefers plain meals. It can also refer to someone who eats quite a narrow range of foods.

It's quite common for children to be picky eaters. They may only like their pasta without sauce, or their bread cut in a certain shape.

Parents often feel they're to blame when their children are picky eaters. But according to a new study, picky eating is mostly caused by our genes.

Researchers in the UK looked at data from identical and non-identical twins who had been followed from birth since 2007.

Identical twins share 100% of their genes, while non-identical twins share half, on average. Studying these twins allowed the researchers to compare the eating habits of people who were genetically the same and those who weren't, but still grew up in the same home together.

More than 4,800 twins were included in the study. Their parents completed questionnaires about how picky their children were aged 16 months, then again at the ages of 3, 5, 7 and 13.

Not all parents completed the questionnaires as their children got older, but from the results, the researchers found that the eating habits of identical twins were much more similar than those of non-identical twins.

They also found that genetic variation explained 60% of the differences in food pickiness at 16 months, and 74% between the ages of 3 and 13. Meanwhile, shared environment only explained 15% to 26% of these differences, and the environmental effect was strongest when children were younger.

However, the researchers added that environmental effects are still important: parents can still influence their children's eating habits by eating together as a family, and by offering a wide variety of different foods, for example.
