I was 40 when I first came to that realization.I was 30 when I realized that I was glad that the Army treated me the way it did during BCT.
I couldn’t figure this out. Favorite age? Every age has had it good parts and bad; I learn something almost every day and that’s been going on a long, long time. Long ago I learned I may not know I am loved right then but eventually I do. I have always known I am loved by the Universe. And very importantly if someone always dumps on me, I really don’t need him or her in my life. Otherwise my list looks very similar to one you listed.
Thank you.
I was 2 when I learned to never walk barefoot around puppies;(
I should have said ‘memorable’ rather than ‘favorite’.
Of course, once you hit 77 - memorable is - dang - I forgot what I was typing;) !!!!!!!!
I was 55 when I realized that it was unwise to stick a paper clip in the wall outlet.
When I was 3, I learned you can’t rub a lit cigarette butt on the ground out in your bare feet.
I’ve learned that the greater a person’s sense of guilt, the greater his or her need to cast blame on others. Age 46

I believe democrats learned that lesson early. And they live that lesson every day.
The Mueller investigation turned out to be a colossal flop. So now the Rats are suing Trump for interference?
I’ve learned that when someone says, “Don’t worry. It gets better as you go along,” you can safely stop reading right there.
Democrats have no sense - and certainly no sense of guilt;(
Don’t know at what age people are brainwashed into being Democrats - probably around age 17.
Thx R2
Ive learned that sodpoodle gets lots of good emails.
:-)
Age 52. Gods purpose for my Life was to help others
Not to brag but I learned that at 5 with a straightened out wire coat hanger. I must have thought that being a couple of feet away would be the safe way to do it.
But consider this; people who go through their whole lives never sticking something metal in a wall socket never learn not to do that!
Well,to be fair I've never claimed to be a fast learner! ;-)
Hey, I said I wasn’t bragging! ;-)
My point was that we’re way ahead of those who never learn.
No risk no reward! lol
True enough.Now if I could only learn that the pants go on before the shoes!
I was five when I learned quick identification of the Bull Nettle plant.
Respectfully I have to disagree with your previous self-assessment anyway.
You may have been 55 years old and I was using a two foot piece of wire
but we both learned at close to the speed of light!
