I spent 30 years raising two kids, and still invest in them as a parent, and guide.  One area I really focused on through the years was in recognizing truth and reality from things that are false, and not real.  A couple quotes I shared with them recently follow.  My kids are pretty damn worldly and wise.  Intelligent too, as a result of taking parenting, and the gift of child rearing, adolescent stewardship and education seriously as my primary responsibility to those two that I brought into this world.

I just love Stevie.  When I was 18, she was 35.  At the time there was this popular saying.... (likely mis-information- even before the internet age, imagine that) that women reached their sexual peak at 35, men at 18.... so... naturally, I had fantasies that Stevie would realize one day she needed to get with a poor college student like me.   Never happened, lol

 

I did meet her once- well, shook her hand anyway at one of her concerts.  Alas, the handshake did not elicit any spark in her eyes....

And, my dream has so far been unrealized :). 

 

We still have time, Stevie!!!!!!!!!
