My 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 were sure
different.
12
years
old:
Oh, well, naturally, Father doesn’t know anything about that. He
is too old to remember his childhood.
14
years
old:
Don’t pay any attention to my father. He is so old-fashioned!
21
years
old:
Him? My Lord, he’s hopelessly outof-date.
25
years
old:
Dad knows a little bit about it, but then he should because he has
been around so long.
