Never Too Old

My sons are always telling me that they can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Since I’m older than dirt myself, I guess I’m living proof of that. But just because I know how to do it, doesn’t mean I want to. It's a whole lot easier for me to feign ignorance and stare at them like I’m the dumbest thing alive, while one of you gets the chance to show up their old man. The big question must be, who is it that just got schooled? All those who can, will those who don’t want to do it- Will get it outsourced

love it...! I sometimes I, too, feign ignorance. Doing so takes a certain level of skill, right? :-) I especially liked the Haiku...! 'getting outsourced'--that's brilliant. Have a splendid evening, Sara
