Calvin: My teacher said the same thing Dad did. The sun isn't going out after all! It's just getting colder because winter's coming. Dad was right all along! Imagine ol' Dad knowing something like that!
Age 10 In the olden days when my Dad grew up things sure were different
Age 12 My Dad is too old to remember anything about that
Age 14 Don’t pay any attention to him he is too old-fashioned
Age 21 Him! Hopelessly out of date!
Age 25 Dad does know a little bit about it, but then he should, he has been around so long
Age 30 Maybe we should ask Dad what he thinks. After all, he has had a lot of experience
Age 40 I am not doing a single thing until I ask Dad
Age 45 I wonder how Dad would have handled it. He was so wise and had a world of experience.
Age 50 I would give anything if Dad were here now so I could talk this over with him. Too bad I didn’t appreciate how smart he was. I could have learned a lot from him.
Age 4 My Daddy can do anything
Age 6 My Daddy knows more than your Dad
