A brief history of parenting
Ages 0-4:
Just keeping them and yourselves alive. Endurance sport.
Ages 5-12:
“And what do we say”
(Please and thank you)
Teenage years:
Have you see my charger

Me: Hmmm...where's my charger
(Finds it in teens room)
“Take off your headphones”
“Take off your headphones”
“I’m in the middle of a sentence! Why did you put your headphones on?”
Can you bring the drill?
Can't sleep without my security blanket
Now comes the not so rethorical question anymore : we will see the day when as parents they'll have to check for both theirs and theirs kids blankets at night ?
Early Twenties: (silently) Are you sure that’s really a good idea?
Later Twenties: Wow. That’s very cool.
Early Thirties: That was a great book. Thanks for the recommendation.
Late Thirties: Lucky you. I wish I had that vacation.
