why are parents always so wise.

i remember when i was younger, all the things they'd say would fly right through my head. i'd absentmindedly say "yes" or "i know" when in fact, i had no clue what they meant behind the words they said. now, everytime i talk to them, i'm astounded as to how much depth of wisdom can be transferred in a simple statement. i never realized there'd be more to what they'd say than just the surface meaning, that i'd have to grasp a deeper understanding beneath the words... i listen, and i reflect on my own life, and then i wonder... when i'm older, will i ever be as wise as them? i hope so...

:) i told them to write all their words of wisdom into a book of some sort... they should publish it one of these days lol...
