New Gene Discovered

Last weekend I discovered a new gene but since both my parents have it, I don't know if it's recessive or dominant. I can't think up a snappy name so here is the clunky descriptive: Fear of Dropping Keys Down a Sewer Drain.

While visiting my parents, they described how they react when they realize they have parked their car over a sewer drain. I am a combination of both their methods. I have my mother's internal mantra, "Oh God, don't drop the keys, don't drop..." and I have my father's strategic use of pockets (taking the key out of the pocket for the smallest amount of time and lots of patting of the pocket to make sure the key is there).
