How Much Wiser Can We Get Already?

President Obama on Wednesday: "We’ve come a long way since I first took office. As a country, we’re older and we’re wiser"

Yeah, he actually said that. For the moment, overlook the fact that most of us were wiser than that way before the election. Like when he first showed up.

I agree with him if by "wiser" he means the same kind of wiser you might get when your car disappears because you didn't think you needed to lock the door.

Or the same kind of wiser you get when you go away for the weekend and leave your 16 year old in charge of the house. On homecoming weekend.

Or the kind of wiser you get when you go outside in the backyard, in the dark, barefooted, to see what your dogs are all barking about.

Or the kind of wiser you get when….

Come up with your own.  Winner gets cookies.  Anonymiss will send you some of those bacon/macadamia masterpieces she's been making….

  2. The kind of wiser you get after the first time you thought you could make it to the next gas station.

    The kind of wiser you get when you arrive at your vacation destination, having earlier been reassured by your wife that she had packed "everything".

    The kind of wiser you get the first time it becomes apparent you'll have to submit a change request.

    The kind of wiser you get the last time you took someone's word regarding whether or not the gun was unloaded.

    the kind of wiser you get when the nice man says, "I'm from the government and i'm here to help you."

    the kind of wiser you get when the instructions say that they are for your "safety and convenience"

  4. Just a thought: Some people get older and wiser. The rest just get older.

    Any bets on which group voted for Obama?
