Acting your age

Some people are pretty good at acting their age.

They like to be cautious and sit around doing nothing.


After all, it's good to play it safe.

To keep things low-key.

And very serious.

Because you are a grown-up. Right?

And it is important not to take risks. Because if you do, you might...

join your children and brother in a game of Run-Down-The-Hill-As-Fast-As-You-Can-No-Slowing-Down-Or-You're-A-Wimp and end up like this.

Then you will get lots of time to sit on the couch and re-evaluate your actions and think about...

how you can't wait to stop acting your age again.

Happy birthday David!

Happy birthday, David. You are everything to me. Thank you for being our leader. Thank you for being selfless. Thank you for always working hard and for teaching that to our kids. Thank you for oozing integrity. Thank you for loving me the way you do. Thank you for acting like you are a kid. Even if that means you sometimes do things that cause you to need knee surgery on Thursday. I love you more than words can touch.

We interrupt this school day for some very important business

And now.

Back to math.
