Awesome entry! Better than mine! I like how you threw in “your dog.” It was nice comic relief in a very serious and yet sweet entry.

Lovely and direct advice.

I love the underlying humor that pervades this and the direct, wise message that you are left with at the end of this piece. Awesome work.

I suppose that it helps that with two kids, I’d already thought about this scenario long before it was a ficlets challenge. Not that I would tell them this using these exact words (I have some tact), but they’ve already heard the sentiments.

Although my daughter refuses to believe me that it’s more fun to be a kid than an adult.

I love it.

all true!!
i like!

Ah yes, the true measure of one’s life is how happy we were trudging through it, and how much happiness we spread to others along the way. To steal a quote from Joss Whedon’s “Angel:”
If there is no great glorious end to all this, if nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do.
