How much has the other person learned in 7 years?

A little while back I read somewhere that: “Mark Twain said that when he was 14 years old, his father was so ignorant Mark could hardly stand him. But by the time he was 21 he was amazed how much the old man had learned in 7 years.”
Now while many of us might smile and think the same about their own parents, I can’t help wondering if our own children too, don’t feel the same way about us. And I hope that eventually they too will, like us, learn that their allegedly ignorant aren’t as dumb as they first thought and that all of us will learn a lot in a few short years too. If we just give each other a little time and forgiveness. What say you?
Yes who today do you have to allow a little to grow, and to whom do you too have to give credit for how much they/you have grown in the past few years whether shorter or lkonger than seven? Over to you now for your action please?
