My oldest
Dad, were you and Mommy born in the same year?
Yes.
Ok – I want to interview you or mommy for class.
OK, cool, for what class?
History.
WTH!
HISTORY! Whaddya mean?!
Well, I just want to find out what it was like back in the day – when you were my age. It has to be from a family member.
always looking to pass the joke on to the next buck I made this pivot
You want to find out about history?
Yeah.
Then you should interview Gramma and Grampa – now THAT’s history.
but, my youngest, never missing an opportunity to (innocently?) drive the dagger just a bit deeper;
No. You have to interview Daddy because I already did Mommy!
So, it would appear I’m too slow, we are already history.

Love the enthusiasms of the Mermaids and the wonderful fun they have “in the moment”. For some reason your word “history” made me think of “time”. Found even a quote from Rabelais! I’ve posted some wonderful quotes regarding time I will chew like jerky all day:
It is my feeling that Time ripens all things; with Time all things are revealed; Time is the father of truth.
(François Rabelais (1494-1553), French author, evangelist. Judge Bridoye, in Third Book, ch. 40, p. 478, Pleiade edition (1995). See Erasmus, Adagia, II, iv, 17 “Tempus omnia ruelat.”)
Music is a time machine, transporting to a different time and place.
(Walterrean Salley July 20,2015)
I would rather be old for a shorter time than be old before my time.
(Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592), French essayist. “On Some Verses of Virgil,” The Essays (Les Essais), bk. III, ch. 5, Abel Langelier, Paris (1588).)
There is something even in the lapse of time by which time recovers itself.
(Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), U.S. philosopher, author, naturalist. A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (1849), in The Writings of Henry David Thoreau, vol. 1, p. 374, Houghton Mifflin (1906).)
