A college student at a recent Carolina football game challenged a
senior citizen sitting next to him, saying it was impossible for
their generation to understand his. "You grew up in a different
world," the student said loud enough for the whole crowd to hear.
"Today we have television, jet planes, space travel, man has walked
on the Moon, our spaceships have visited Mars, we even have nuclear
energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with light-speed
processing and, uh .."
Taking advantage of a pause in the student's litany, the geezer said,
"You're right. We didn't have those things when we were young; so we
invented them, son, Now what are you doing for
the next generation??"
I love senior citizens
The one thing I have learned through the aging of my OWN
children, is that they DO eventually realize that Mom and Dad (and
many others) are FAR smarter, and can add value to THEIR lives
once given enough time to mature past the age of "I know everything
and you know nothing"...we just have to give them time to
"grow up"!
