Re: Childish things was Re: That Age Thing

I have relatives like that...the entire mother's side...oy!

After getting admonished for my "waste of time" hobbies.  I sat right
there and
said:

"Too many peaple these days seem to think that once we grow up, we have
to give
up all the fun in our lives and be boaring.  I allways thought that God
wanted us
to be happy.  This is how I have fun.  I play games.  Some with toys. 
And I am
going to keep on doing it until I am too old to think straight."

At that point, they all laughed...good laughter...I said it with a
conviction
that I think I surprized them a little...
Now I have no problem.	They just don't bring up my hobbies.
