I remember when my niece started school. She was all excited about going to “Big Girl School”. I told her: “Enjoy it while it lasts because for the next sixty years you’re going to be getting up too early to go to some place you don’t want to go, where you’ll spend the whole day wishing you were somewhere else, and then at the end of the day you’ll be going to bed early so you can start again the next day.”
Yeah, I’m a dick like that. Nobody likes a realist. My sister got mad at me for saying that to her. About ten years later she was crying about having problems in high school, and she said “Uncle Carmen, you were right!”. She actually remembered my grim, but accurate advice…

Either Timmy peaked early, or he peeked at the future early.It’s a shame when they discover the truth at that age.That it’s all down hill from here.
