Mark Twain said "When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I could scarcely stand to be around him. But, by the time I was 21, I was astonished at how much he had learned in the past 4 years."

My personal experience with my parents led me to understand the change is more profound than Mark Twain describes. My parents knew everything when I was a child. I was amazed when I entered my early teens how much intelligence my parents had lost! It was embarrassing. Fortunately for them I knew everything. Imagine my relief when they regained all their knowledge by the time I was in my early twenties.
