My son's wisdom

[Forum Administrator]

The adults were sitting around last night and the topic of time seems to go by faster as you get older.  My son says the explanation is simple....

 

When you are young, like ten years old, a year is 10% of your life.

When you are old, like 50 years old, a year is 2% of your life.

As you get older, years get shorter.

Some times kids say something's that make you stop and think or just laugh. 

When my son was about 5 he was hanging out in the garage and us so called adults. 

We were drinking a few beers when we got into a debate about American beer vs. European beer. Out of nowhere a 5 year old said...if you drink enough of any beer it's all eurapean beer.

My favorite was daughter #1 when she was around 3 or 4 fidgeting with something and then muttering under her breath “fucking damn thing”.     That was one of the biggest double takes of my life.

And needless to say, she didn’t learn that from me.

When I asked her what she said, she said “I was just making up a story”.

Daughter #2 is in the marching band.  Because she is on the marimbas, her instrument has a microphone. She has a short, 16 note solo.  Two weeks ago she messed up and said, "Fuck!" The mics picked it up and it was heard throughout the stadium.  

No one in my house uses that word. I promise.
