Old Saying For The Old

"Age and wisdom will always beat out youth and exuberance."

Once upon a time, one of my nephews said to me, "I can do whatever I want to you, cause I'm young and quick, and you're old and slow."

So, I said to him, "Yes, but you cannot run forever. Eventually, you will forget. It will slip your mind. You will be in a room, and in that room there will be one door, and in that door there will be ME, AND THEN I WILL..."

"OKAY! OKAY! Stop."

Later, I heard him rustling through his closet. I went to his room, and stood in the doorway. He did not hear me coming. (They never do.) I stood in the doorway, and ... waited.

It was about two minutes, but when he felt "that feeling" he didn't know that. What made him snap around and shout in surprise was realizing that he did not realize exactly how long I had been there, but still realizing exactly how accessible he was.

I smiled, told him, "Remember this" and left.

Don't you tenderhearts out there worry. I'm the mean uncle. For him, it was downhill from there. He's in his late 20's.

Then again, my brother has just made me two BRAND NEW NEPHEWS!!!

"Satan closed my blog. He shivered, then crossed himself, forehead to sternum, shoulder to shoulder. He pushed himself away from the computer made of excrement held up by the desk made of the damned. He tortured souls that day, but gave them an hour for lunch. It was BBQ. After all, he was still Satan."
