LOL, It is kind of fun to see your own kid begin to say that about your grand kids!!!

I am glad, however, that I did't turn into a negative older person about younger people. We have a lot to give each other.

AtLastHome, what's more fun is to utter the eternal prayer in the presence of your own child: "May your child grow up to put you through all the crap you put me through." And then watch it unfold.

The flip side, however, is coming to realize what we put our own parents through, once we've forgiven them for their imperfection.

Mankind doesn't seem to have the capacity to learn from history (world history or our own limited experiences). We go on repeating the same errors over and over again ad nauseum.

Life is a Merry Go 'Round! Have a good one and keep a sense of humor. Negative old people get these nasty little lines around their lips. Very unattractive.
