Painful realization

[elfs]

Do you remember the Twisted Sister video "We're Not Gonna Take It?" (If you don't, YouTube remembers.) It's the one with a father confronting his son, who looks to be maybe fourteen or fifteen, with the rant "Who are you? What are you? You do nothing, you are nothing, you sit in here all day and play with that sick, repulsive electric twanger! I carried an M-16 and you, you carry that, that, that guitar!"

I have reached the age where I have more sympathy for the father than I do for the kid.

Coming out of lurkdom to express my sympathies. 40 is like that, I've found. Knees hurt, too tired for fun (peace & quite seems good enough), and kids suddenly become ungrateful.
