My Father When I Was…


4 years old: My daddy can do anything.


5 years old: My daddy knows a whole lot.


6 years old: My dad 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 sure
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? My lord, he’s hopelessly out-of-date.


25 years old: Dad knows a little bit about it, but then he should because
he has 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 doing a single thing until I talk to Dad.


40 years old: I wonder how Dad would have handle 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. I could have
learned a lot from him.



How about you?
