deep thoughts

This morning as I was making breakfast, Joshua, Patience, and I were discussing the fact that Niyi (our houseguest) has 7 children. 5 are grown up and don't live with him anymore-- just like I don't live with Grandpop and Grandmom anymore. Then he has 2 little children who live at his house. Joshua's response in a somewhat lamenting tone was, "Why do they grow up so fast?"
