I’m just a very lucky, dirty old man with a wonderful wife. I have opinions on most everything, but will not force them on anyone other than family and friends. They have to suffer with me as no one else.

Look at the numbers

This is for all of you with kids. I know at times it seems kids make you age faster than you normally would. Using mathematics, I can show you your kids are in fact aging faster than you are. Take a look and see what you think.

Say you are 20 years old when your child is born (this makes the math easier to work with but it works with other numbers).

Childs’ age - Parents’ age - Percentage
0 ..............................20................
10 .............................30................ 1/3 (.333)
20 ............................ 40................ ½ (.50)
30 ............................ 50................ 2/3 (.666)
40 ............................ 60................ 2/3 (.666)
50 ............................ 70................ 5/7 (.714)
60 ............................ 80................ ¾ (.75)
70 ............................ 90................ 7/9 (.777)

As you can see, the percentage of the child’s age to the parent’s goes up with age.


This is just another strange thought from the mind of Ed Williams.

That proves my little brother is also aging faster then I am! It's so nice to hear the good news! I always knew it, though.
