On Aging and Snowballs

Published by anniezs at 3:51 pm under Human Nature, Quotes, children Edit This

 The aging process has you firmly in its grasp if you never get

the urge to throw a snowball. 

– Doug Larson

Well, if this is all I need for assurance that I am not getting too old, too fast, then I’m okay.

The sticky snowman snow, that my young daughter has been asking for, is finally here. As we pushed the Christmas Tree our the door today, in came a bit of snow. We scooped it up, and sure enough it stuck together. Within moments, she had thrown the snowball, as befits her age.

When I am outside with some of my older children, I have to say that the urge catches me too.  Or perhaps it is my husband who get the snowball — up near the collar is always good.

I began wondering if there are other childish signs, whose grasp upon us, show that we are not aging too fast.  What about climbing a tree?  Sound good to me.
