Last night I thought my 12 yo daughter was trying to trick me with a math problem by reciting it to me too quickly.
12: Dad...what's (speaks very quickly) 20 plus 20 plus 20 plus 7?
Me (proudly and quickly): 67!
12: SIX SEVEN!
Me: Damn it...
@PatsKam Usually completely forgettable things.
I've been married 20 years and we have an amazing marriage, nearly no real fights. But our worst fights happen driving around Washington DC. If we had to drive in DC every day we would have divorced within a year!
@landofthe80s Had this and the Hot Wheels City. Used to back them up to one another and make a mega city. Even the space underneath served as a parking garage.
When you get into your 40s nobody prepares you for losing the whole generation above you. All the people who were always there as a feature of your life and then gradually they are gone. It is very strange.
I see it's Teacher Appreciation Week. When my younger daughter was 4 she told her preschool teachers she would bring them wine as a TAW gift. They got quite the laugh.
She's 12 now and still funny as hell.
