Is lying heriditary?

Lots of things can be passed down from generation to generation. it has been said that irish are drunks, russians are blank, blanks are blanks and so forth.

But those are mostly stereotypes. Can certain traits like lying be passed on from one parent to child? Seriously, i tell lies, like every other person but one thing i try to work on is to tell the truth all the time. One thing i keep in the back of my mind is the fact that Solomon says "they Lord hates a lying tongue." So lying is a big BIGGIE for me. I hate it when people lie to me and i hate it when i lie to people.
The reason why i'm running is that my mom lies so much i'm not sure if she knows she's lying. Actually, i think she tell tales - half lies. so it's so mixed with the truth it's hard to tell the difference.
I have to come back and blog about graduating and blah, blah, blah! but for now, i'm hungry and i need to eat.
peace out!!!
