I have very smart children who keep me immersed in world history from the crusades thru the late 1800's. We talk in terms of and recognize all the repeats as we go forth in this era of modern history.

I'm a really lucky dad. One is in law school now and the other is in UMN Twin Cities school of architecture, minoring in ancient greek.

Get ready for the next part.........Both are now young women. And yes, nobody really cares to join us at family events. A lot of head shaking and puzzled looks. It seems our lack of Honey Boo-Boo and Oprah smarts puts us at a disadvantage.

I made smart ones too, homeschooling helped. One’s a Greek freak, heavily into Biblical Greek, who wanted to study law but couldn’t even dream of a college education, so far beyond my means it was. This proved a blessing in disguise. Nothing but sane conservatives in the family.
But don’t worry, they usually learn from life, what really matters and what really endures.
