Me: Brice, hustle it up buddy we're running late. Quit acting like a squirrel and get in the bath tub.
Brice: (staring at me with a look of pure seriousness) I am not a squirrel. I'm Batman.
Sarcasm. I believe he may have picked this up from his parents. Nurture.
As Brice and his dad were headed out the door this morning we said our goodbyes.
Brice: See ya squirrel!
More sarcasm. Again, I believe this could be the by product of his father and I. Nurture.
By no means am I suggesting I have the answers. This post was merely for fun. If you want real information on nature versus nurture, here are some links...

Charlie would've said "I'm not a squirrel. I'm Charlie" with emphasis. Nurture definitely applies to him - he is just like his father in oh so many many ways!
Cute post. I'm a big fan of sarcasm! I often think that my responsibility is to nurture my kids' nature.
Lol! We killed Batman, ER, I mean, banished Batman from our home. I Batman has been a common outburst in our home. Especially when misbehaving! Have a great week!
