What is the BEST age??
posted in Writing Group Project |I am in a unique situation, I think. Not sure… I have a 2 year old, a 30 year old, and a 71 year old all living in our house. We are each in completely different stages of our lives, yet we co-exist. LOL…
I think 2 years old is the best age because you don’t have any worry. You can ask for everything with whatever “ME” and everyone just does it. Like feed me, walk me, sit me, pull me, carry me, pick me, help me, water me, pappa me, kiss me, etc, etc, …..this list can go on forever and ever.
You can dance anywhere and nobody thinks it is strange. You can even dance to the elevator music that they play at the mall in attempts to keep you out of the center aisle and in stores.
You can also be completely quiet when talked to and nobody things any differently of you. Hiding behind things is completely appropriate.
I also think being 30 years old is the best though. I am loving this age. I think everyone finally agrees that I am adult enough to take care of myself. I have yet to figure out why some think that 20 year old’s are incapable of this.
I have grown to not be embarrassed so easily. I am okay with Kyra dancing in the mall for example. I think had she been born earlier in my life that I would be more stressed with her. I find now to be the perfect time to have her as a 2 year old.
It is perfect that I am past the high school days too. I sort of dreaded them each morning.
I think being 71 is a good age too. There are so many unfortunate that do not make it to that age, that you should be ever so thankful if you are there. You have learned to never be embarrassed at this age. You have learned to joke about age and about yourself, life isn’t as serious business as it once was.
You know you are smarter than most of the people around you, but because you went through all those hard knocks at about the same time as you witness those around you going through them. You have learned to shut up about it though.
You get price discounts at a whole load of places just for being you.
So there you have it the reasons cliff notes version of why every age in my house is the very best age. I am writing this for the October MamaBlogger Writing Group Project. Go check out all the other entries and decide for yourself what is the very best age???

Being thirty is better than two I think as well. While a two year old has no worries they also have no freedoms or real choices.

I am on my 20’s right now, 23 to be exact, and so far so good. I enjoy this years of my life a lot. I have been living as a two-year old girl, but I haven’t remember anything! For sure in that age, I am free to do what ever I want, but there are restrictions (my Mom needs to be by my side as always). I guess being on 30’s is where, you’ll get more mature and responsible for so many things. Being 71, well, it’s kind of old, but that’s the time where you are to be loved more my your family members.

I think part of the reason why people think 20 year olds aren’t capable of taking care of themselves is that they refuse to listen to 30 year olds and 71 year olds.
Thanks for participating!

Gee… I’d love to do-over my 20’s if we’re looking at our own ages here. LOL Being in my late 30’s does make me reflect on what I should have done in my younger years.
You do have quite the age span in your house! I bet it’s never a dull moment!
Thanks for sharing your post for the GWP!
I liked reading it.

Great topic this month Jordan.
Thanks for all the nice comments. I am very happy with my age. It is probably the most settled I have felt in my whole life. I feel like I know exactly what I want out of it now, which is a really calming feeling.

What a great way to do the writing project.
I think at this point I wouldn’t mind being 2 again.

The best things in my life happened in my 30’s…I think that in our 20’s we’re not taken seriously (or at least I wasn’t) because that’s when we do those things nobody will find out…unless we’re running for political office!
I really enjoyed your post-it’s reminiscent of how my family in Europe lives, many generations under one roof.

Thanks Summer and Ursula for visiting.
Yes, 2 is a good age. I agree, it has to be fun at least for my girl.
I am hoping that my 30’s are the best. I am almost 1/2 through the first year of the 30’s. It has been sort of a crazy bit of my life. I will look back fondly though. I feel great though for 30. I agree you aren’t taken seriously. I wasn’t either. I sometimes feel I still am not, but have learned to not care about them who are that way to me. LOL…
Thanks again…
