Oh. 😐 Is your grandfather alright?
He almost died on the operating table on Friday, because his blood pressure kept dropping. He's stable now, but I'm worried what will happen next time. cry
My grandfather's a great man. He served in WWII, got shot many times, and still managed to get back up and fight. He was from Britain, but he moved hto Canada after my dad was like 7-8 yrs old.
Whoa it's a good thing he's alright. I'm sure they won't mess up next time. People learn from their mistakes.
Anyway, that's a cool story. He fought the Germans? My grandfather was part of the airforce, and his plane was struck down. He was the only survivor out of 4, and had to hide in a barn to avoid the enemy. Looks like our grand-daddies did a pretty good job of winning the war, eh?

Edit; Exactly! The real maturity is being able to distinguish between situations and when is the right time for you to act your age, make that extra effort and so on. Quite honestly, youngsters pretending they're mature at such a young age only serves to make them appear silly and pretentious because it's so obvious they're trying so hard and yet, in most cases, not cutting the mustard. Why wish away your younger years? You'll be 'old' and mature for a very long time. Seriously, now I've got all these responsibilities I know won't ever change or relent, I'd give anything to be 11 again and have no worries (other than trivialities) in the world. I'm only 22 so all I've got to look forward to is it getting a whole lot worse! I can't understand why kids want to be adults so quickly, I suppose they don't see all of the pressures that come with it. Rose coloured glasses.
I definitely agree with this. Why bother wasting your time acting like an adult when you're young when you'll have the rest of your life to do so? I mean yes, there are kids who due to various circumstances and situations are definitely very mature for being a young age. But for the most part, it's kids just wanting to look like they're adults and they end up coming off looking really silly.
Personally, because of family issues and stuff like that, I never really got to act my age from about when I was 8 years old until I was about 16 or 17. So I definitely believe in acting immature and childish as long as you can, and am kind of making up for lost time in doing so 😛 But at the same time, I'm going on 21 years old, and know that there are situations where me acting like a silly teenager won't cut it and I need to act like someone who's nearly 21.
