My Daddy
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, Dad
doesn't know anything about that.
He is too old to remember his
childhood."
14 years old
"Don't pay any attention to my
dad.
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hopelessly out-of-date!"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's been around for so
long."
30 years old
"Maybe we should ask dad what he
thinks."
35 years old
"I'm not doing 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.
I could have learned a lot from
him."
