Fathers seem to change a lot over the years - here are some words from Anne Landers about this.
A GENTLE REMINDER NOT TO FORGET 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 sure were 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 My Lord, he's hopelessly out of date.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 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 handled it. He's 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.
What do you think is special about your father ?....
