ally cat's mommy's thread about geeks made me think of this...

I remember when I was about 16, 17.. and my parents would be gone for a few days or week sometimes, and my mother wanted me to take care of her plants... oh what a bother! she had alot of them and I didnt want to be tied down to , wow a whole 10 minutes to water them!
I never did care for them properly of course, anyway one time I remember a friend was at my house and I was telling her this, and we were joking about how... well you know... at their age, thats all they have! now, more than 20 years later, I think sheesh what witches we were! you know when you are that young you think you know it all, and the world is all yours! I used to think of that from time to time, when I was in my mid 30's and had several plants, before I got the cats! (now the plants are gone!)
isn't it funny how we change with time... and the things we made fun of as "kids", we do in later years ourselves?

anyone else have some stories?
