Sometimes, life with our children gains more in the humor department several years down the road. This is probably because we have conquered the moment and managed to move on . . . in spite of our children. A good friend shared this one with me and it has become one of my favorites.
A mother with now grown up sons recalls trying to help her eldest boy with his homework. At twelve, he wasn’t about to listen to the answer. In the middle of her intellectual confrontation with her son, an encyclopedia salesman came to the door. Much to her dismay, in retrospect, she exclaimed to the poor salesman, “Why do I need to buy a set of encyclopedia when I have a twelve year old in here that already knows everything!”
