Grab the Kleenex


4 years:
My Daddy can do anything!
7 years:
My Dad knows a lot…a whole lot.
8 years:
My father does not know quite everything.
12 years:
Oh well, naturally Father does not know that either.
14 years:
Oh, Father? He is hopelessly old-fashioned.
21 years:
Oh, that man-he is out of date!
25 years:
He knows a little bit about it, but not much.
30 years:
I must find out what Dad thinks about it.
35 years:
Before we decide, we will get Dad's idea first.
50 years:
What would Dad have thought about that?
60 years:
My Dad knew literally everything!
65 years:
I wish I could talk it over with Dad once more.

  9. seems that our primary duty as parents is to teach them what they need to know in order to grow beyond us. if you hold him prisoner - in a closed fist he will make every effort to break free - if you support him on your open palm he will fly free but return to you often - loving him is the easiest thing to do, setting him free the hardest.
