A Mothers Speech

I remember something I was told when I thought I knew how to tackle the world. It went something like this: When you’re younger, you take risks without a second thought. As you get older, you realize some risks aren’t worth taking. For example, riding a tandem bike with your friend, helmet on and beer cup in hand, might seem fun at the time. But later, it looks more like a recipe for disaster. It’s important to remember that as we age, our bodies and minds change. What was once a thrilling adventure becomes a risky endeavor. That’s about the gist of it. So, let’s embrace the passing of time and the wisdom that comes with it. Maybe we should leave the drunken bike riding to the younger generation.
