Wishing to be older and vice versa

[Frank McGrath]

I said 5,000 because it would mean I must be immortal, and I'd have to be the smartest man alive with that much experience.

I was the smartest man alive when I was 14. Just ask my parents.

Frank McGrath
no longer the smartest man alive.

I can remember hitting 29 an thinking OMG,next year i'll be thirty,and i felt very old.I must have been nuts.

I work as a social worker for Hospice, an agency which provides palliative care to those with six months or less to live. 80% of my clients are above 70 years of age, though I do get some kids here and there, and some people in their 30's. I don't mind getting older, and I don't mind all the bs that may happen t me each day. I know that no matter how bad my day might seem, my clients would gladly trade my absolute worst day for their best day. And somehow it makes life easier thinking about it like that. When you have to sit and work on your taxes, or sit through a boring 3 hour meeting...or do your homework...run to the grocery store....the list goes on and on. But when you have to do those things, rather than think about it as "I have to do this again", think about it like "I have the ability to do these things again."

Perhaps that was a little off topic, but not too much.

I would not want to be younger than I am. Most people already tell me I act too old for my age, so if anything I'd prefer to be a bit older so that I fit in better with those around me.

You can wish to be older and your wish may come true.
You cannot become younger.
