Things Aren't the Same

Are you 40 yet? Can you remember 40? Would you want to be 40 again? You know, 40 now is not like 40 was 30 years ago. When I was 40 thirty years ago there was a 13 year old son, a 10 year old daughter, a 9 year old son, and a 6 year old daughter in my household. I was very sure to be on my p's and q's to not say or do anything to influence their behavior in any manner that was not according to the southern, conservative, fundamentalist point of view. I don't even remember whether there was a party to celebrate the maturation process and arrival at that milestone age. Forty years old now is quite different! Our then 10 year old is now 40 and there has been a party. Preparation went on for days; invitations went out to lots of people to attend with guests ranging in age from very young adulthood to senior citizens with white hair. Considerable amounts of food were prepared by her friends and elaborate decorations within a theme were put in place. A music system was put in the building for guests to dance to. The party day arrived on last Friday and the guests came in anticipation of "roasting" the honoree and having a great time with conversation, dancing, food and not least of all adult beverages. Wow! Even Grandma had fun with it all and stayed awake up to midnight. I'm telling you, 40 is not now like 40 was 30 years ago.
