Why am I getting dumber the older I get?

Why am I getting dumber? When I was in elementary and high school, I knew everything. I knew that my mom was dumb and I was much smarter. I clearly knew so much more than she did and could not possibly believe that my life consisted of living with such incompetence. I knew that when I 'told a story' to her or my dad, they believed me.

I am now older....much older than I was in high school and I am clearly getting dumber. Now, my parents aren't so dumb and they can tell me a thing or two. Now our kids think we are dumb and don't know anything...There isn't much I can say anything without an 'I know' from one of them. My parents are smarter than me....they always have been. So, that clearly means that I am getting dumber.

One of lifes greatest lessons is recognizing the wisdom of your years. Recognizing the errors we make in life and then learning from those mistakes. When you can truly recognize them, learn from them, and correct them...that's wisdom. How I love getting older....

Not only are you getting wiser but you also are getting cuter.
