I'm 73 and I understand nothing. Does that help?

I can't find the sign up sheet for the info session so that I can understand.

Damn! I missed this meeting again?! Now I have to wait another 21 years!

My mother transitioned from: "You will understand when you'll have children" to "You will understand when you'll have grandchildren" (now that I have a child). I wonder what the next step would be.

Now that you're old enough, you'll understand that it males no sense.

I heard this so much in my "misguided liberal" youth. Now I'm in my 50s, and I have learned so much, seen so much, and can confidently be sure of*** even less than that of which I was sure in my teens and 20s***!

All of the people who told me "you'll understand when you're older" were full of shit. Some of them are still alive and one thing that I understand for sure: they stopped learning, stopped paying attention, and they are confidently incorrect about things that stopped being true during the first and second Reagan administrations.

Here's a great example: my damned Conservative, MAGA, kick-the-ladder-out-from-behind-her mother. "You should just stay with an employer, stop changing jobs, and they'll give you a pension." Uh, yeah Mom, pensions are no longer a thing. Also, job hopping is how we get meaningful salary increases.

It must be next-to-impossible for parents to say, "I don't know."

They never knew, just kicked the ball down the field until it wasn't their responsibility anymore.

Adults don't exist. We're all just as clueless, some are simply better at improvising

Ah but understanding that you don't understand is the first step in uh something

Anyone who says "You'll understand when you're older" is older and doesn't understand either.

That's what you will understand when you're older.

This hits differently on your birthday 😄
