I just thought of a friend’s dad…eighty-something years old and totally out of his mind.

Police had to fetch him off of the local bridge in the middle of the night.

He climbed up there with a bucket of lilac paint and was in the process of painting the bridge.

Seems at some point he developed an obsession for lilac paint and painting various things in the neighborhood….the bridge, the neighbor’s garage door, street signs, trees, and an ashtray on someone’s porch. (they were lucky he only painted their ashtray and not their whole porch)

I guess at that age you don’t really have to be out of your mind to get away with it…just make people think you are. And the older you get, the easier that is to do.

But with my luck, my daughter would send me off to the home if I ever put on a Wonder Woman outfit at the age of 73. I wouldn’t get a chance to do anything crazy while wearing it. And I can’t rely on there being an old geeks home with an internet connection and a pc in every room, so I might not want to do that.

I think the reckless kid thing suits you! I can imagine you in another 30 years donning your wonder woman outfit and going out and doing all the crazy again! I know I plan to get a second wind when I am old enough to know better!

The only reason why I told her about the crazy stuff was because I knew it was safe. There was no way “Little Miss Granny” was going to try any of it.

Born with a wisdom well beyond her years, she’s 23 now and more sensible & mature than most old people I know. (compared to her, I am still a reckless kid)

So are you planning on making your daughter carry you from now on? You could live vicariously through her by making her do all the things that you used to do!

I am trying to think of some fo the daredevil things I did as a kid. So far, I can think of nothing. Not that I had a boring childhood, I just get the idea I took a few too many blows to the head from falling out of things, so my memory is WAY out there now!
