Okay corollary to last poll
Do you think when you are as far away from your current age as your current age is from when you were twelve that you will look back and like the person you are now, and sorry once again no nuance to the answer, you simply must pick
Yes
No
(In case that phrasing is hard to parse, for me I’m 30, that’s 18 years since I was 12, so I’m thinking about the me that will be 48 looking back at who I am right now)
This is terrible but today when I was playing volleyball outside with some friends one of their children (18 months) was sort of ambling around on his stumpy little toddler legs and so we were all trying to be careful and like not spike the ball onto the baby but then he wandered over to his father, who picked him up bc dad reflexes, and then the ball got passed over to the dad and he sort of had a no thoughts moment and instinctively used his child to smack the volleyball over to the next person. Like he just swung the kid and used his legs like a baseball bat. I’m never going to forget his face of premature regret mid baby-manuever right when he realized what he was doing AND the instant he realized his wife saw it happen. Anyway the baby was fine he didn’t make contact with the ball all that hard and he was just mad his dad wouldn’t use him as a club again but I had to sit down because I laughed so hard I cried.
