But you know, that is the tanlsation of “Sophomore”
“Little kid, knows everything, has the world by the tail.”
The next year get better - after they starve a bit.
Funny, when I was a sophomore, I thought my Dad was an idiot.
It is amazing, what he has learned sice then.
Sadly, they haven't yet learned what comes out the tail end.
Glad to hear your dad has wised up over the years. ;)
