When I was your age:
- TV was called books.
- Video games didn't exist.
- Sugar was prized.
- $1 was a fortune.
- We exercised by walking to school uphill both ways, through the snow, over broken glass, high humidity and tropical heat. With an anvil on our shoulders.
So really, nothing has changed.

P.S. Do look at the image for a moment. It grew on me - perhaps it will grow on you too.

I was only 2 when your dad was this age, yet I can't look at pictures of William without seeing Jim in him. It's like I'm looking at pictures of him instead.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it's a great picture. I love his "exhausted knight" look. It's tough work, slaying dragons.
i like the cases under the couch.
ReplyDeleteRough being the youngest.
ReplyDeletenot like i'd know anything about that...
@ Aunt Eve...I've heard that a lot! Really...
ReplyDelete@ nice Becca, I agree now that I notice them. It's funny how consciously unseen objects make a photo and you don't even realize it happening.
@ Wesley, W is not the youngest. :P
