Unintentionally Passed Down Family Ramen Mug Habit

I'm the kid in this situation, but at one point I was in my apartment eating ramen out of a mug I had taken from my parent's house when I moved out. My dad was visiting and started laughing and asking if I was seriously eating noodles out of that mug. I started getting defensive about my mug of noodles, but he told me that the reason he asked is because he had taken the exact same mug from his parent's house 30 years prior so that he could eat ramen out of it too

This image is a screenshot of a thread from the Reddit subreddit r/AskReddit. The original post asks parents to share behaviors their children picked up from being raised by them, even if they never actively taught those behaviors. A top comment responds from the perspective of the child: the commenter took a mug from their parents' house when moving out and uses it to eat ramen. When their father visited, he laughed at the sight of them eating noodles from the mug, then revealed that he had taken that exact same mug from his own parents 30 years earlier for the exact same purpose of eating ramen out of it, showing a sweet, unintentionally passed down intergenerational family habit.
