Pater: So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.
Posted by Pater , Friday, September 25, 2015 12:15 AM
“When I was One,
I had just begun.
When I was Two,
I was nearly new.
When I was Three
I was hardly me.
When I was Four,
I was not much more.
When I was Five, I was just alive.
But now I am Six, I'm as clever as clever,
So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.”
Happy Birthday AJ1!!!! And remember, what was true for A A Milne in 1927, still rings true in 2015 - being six rocks, so please stay that age for ever and ever. And if that's just not possible, then promise us you'll be as wonderful in years to come as you are at six.
In case you're reading this in your twenties, AJ1, worrying about boyfriends, lost in the academic/work pursuit of Medicine/Law/French Philosophy As It Applies To The Reign of Louis VI (delete as applicable, unless you feel you can do all three), and uncertain of your place in the world, here are Pater's Top Ten Reminders on What it Means to be Wonderful:
1) You fear nothing
2) You excel at everything you do
4) You strike a pose, no matter what you're wearing or how you look
In case you're reading this in your twenties, AJ1, worrying about boyfriends, lost in the academic/work pursuit of Medicine/Law/French Philosophy As It Applies To The Reign of Louis VI (delete as applicable, unless you feel you can do all three), and uncertain of your place in the world, here are Pater's Top Ten Reminders on What it Means to be Wonderful:
1) You fear nothing
3) Humour, humour, humour
5) You chill out when your work is done
6) You watch out for your brothers (male Hass Avocados tend to need extra attention lest they do something stupid)
7) You realise that creativity is the highest form of intelligence
8) You never forget your family loves you and 9) you party hearty (even better if you can do both at the same time!)
10) You always state the obvious. For example, in case you didn't realise it, Mater and Pater are very proud of the girl you are growing to be; are astounded by your wit and wisdom; love the effort you put into all your pursuits; cherish the importance you place on family; and stand in awe of your friendly, out-going nature. In other words, from the tips of your curly brown hair down to the end of your painted toenails, we love you very much, for ever and ever.
Happy Sixth Birthday, AJ1!!!
