I think I'm adopted

gemfyreOr my sister is.
We are nothing like each other.
She adores kids and is great at caring for them, I dislike kids and would probably accidently kill it out of neglect if I had my own.
I always prattle on about scientific stuff, she just looks at me funny and doesn't believe a word I say, I feel kinda sorry for her wanting to be so deluded about the world.
We just watched the carnivore episode of Life of Mammals, here she is turning away and almost in tears at baby guillemots and seals and gazelle and wildebeest being killed. Here I am watching with utter fascination, making sounds of jets crashing as the guillemots fall from the air and commenting on the cheetah/gazelle chase because I realised the gazelle was a full grown male, rather than a calf which they usually go for.
I also noticed that cheetah chase footage wasn't all from the same chase. They started with the cheetah chasing and impala but ended with it catching a gazelle and some of the chase footage was obviously different. She was like "just enjoy it and stop analysing everything" I'm like "But that's what I do, I'm a student of science. I'm not watching for entertainment, I'm watching to learn and put my knowledge to use."
So, which of us is the adoptee?
