Words of Wisdom

Bits from Dad over the past week:

"I like my tongue.  That is what I do."  "I use my tongue to talk.  That is what I do."  "If I didn't have my tongue, I couldn't talk.  That is what I could not do."

"I am not Chinese.  That is what I am not."  "I am an American.  That is what I am."

"I have an overabundace of facial hair.  That is what I have."

"I am a cranky old man. That is what I am."  "If I grew a beard, I could be a cranky grandfather.  That is what I could be."

"I will live a long time.  That is what I will do."  "My parents lived to be over 100 years old.  That is what they did."  "I will live to be over 100 years old.  That is what I will do."
