I believe the quote you are looking for is:

"It's never too late to have a happy childhood."

if that doesn't work, try:

"I'm learning military history.  How do you think they train West Point
officers?"

it's all about how old you think/feel/act.  I never wanna be one of
those
overly mature, can't-have-fun-types.   I'm 39 and have been wargaming &
minis since I was 12 -- before that it was army men/boardgaming.  my
kids
are play some of the oldies from my childhood (originals).

my kids 10 and 7.5 (and wife of 15 yrs) have all learned a good bit of
military history and game theory.  my 10-yr-old son never tires of
wargaming!!!  my wife says that she rather have me game than "cause
trouble
and chase women".

man, this really turned into a nostalgic thread.  I've enjoyed reading
about everyone's background.  it kinda helps get to know folks you
correspond with.
