“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”

One of my father's favorite quotes. He said it often. How right Twain was.
ReplyDeleteAin't it the truth? I think my IQ doubled when my daughter hit 18, and her father's did, as well.
ReplyDeleteWe have a teenager that age! You can imagine how stupid my husband and I are at the moment.
ReplyDeleteYes, we have a boy who's 15. We are incredibly stupid at the moment. I can't be seen with him in public or be near the door when he leaves.
ReplyDeleteHis brain will come back soon I hope.
Your blog is outstanding!
