I find this bit of philosophy from my friend Joan very touching, and most willing to share. Love Michel Margosis ------------------------------------------------------------- A Child's Lament 4 Years Old -My Daddy can do anything. 5 Years Old -My Daddy knows a whole lot. 6 Years Old -My Daddy is smarter than your Dad. 8 Years Old -My dad doesn't know exactly everything. 10 Years Old - In the olden days when my Dad grew up, things were different. 12 Years Old - Oh well, naturally, Father doesn't know anything about that. He is too old to remember his childhood. 14 Years Old - Don't pay any attention to my Father. He is so old fashioned. 21 Years Old - Him? Lord, he's so hopelessly out of date. 25 Years Old - Dad knows a little about it, but then he should, because he's been around so long. 30 Years Old - Maybe we should ask Dad what he thinks. After all, he's had a lot of experience. 35 Years Old - I'm not going to do a single thing until I talk to Dad. 40 Years Old - I wonder how Dad would have handled it. He was so wise and had a world of experience. 50 Years Old - I'd give anything if Dad were here now so I could talk this over with him. Too bad I didn't appreciate how smart he was. ------------------------------------------- PS I remember that after my 4 years of college, I was amazed at how much my father had learned. MM
