Youve been to Jurassic Park!!!?????
 
Whats crazy is that people here who have children who are much older that me.

You are just a youngin. I have been a member of this forum longer than you have been alive.

I am 40 years old (which is young compared to many of the guys here), have a 4 year old son, and a 2 year old son. However, I have a niece who is 32 years old, another niece who is 30, and two nephews who are twins and 21 years old.
 

My mom used to tell me, when I was a teen and feeling smart as all-get-out: "Write down everything you know, right now, because you're going to forget it by the time you're 21."

Very similar to Mark Twain's observation: "When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to 21 I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years."

Many years ago, when I was around 16 or so, my father was watching Hal Holbrook do his "Mark Twain Tonight" routine on TV. I was standing across the living room, also watching. Holbrook let loose with that line, and my dad almost fell out of his chair backwards, laughing. I took me a while (a few years) to figure out what was so funny.
 

I never read or heard that line until I was an adult, but lord, ain't it the truth? I was full of sh*t and myself as a teen.

Some folk still hold that opinion of me, lol.
