When I Knew Everything

Some days I wish that I could go back to when I knew everything, you know those teenage years.  And boy was I a know it all back then.  My parents say that I knew everything back then, and just about every teenager you run into these days knows everything.  So I would really like to go back there.  Because now it seems that I have lost my mind and know absolutely nothing about anything.

It's funny how I knew everything back then and still made a lot of well, stupid (for lack of a better word) choices.  Why do we say if I knew then what I know now?  Well, apparently I don't know anything now, according to my 7 year old.   Oh, to be young again.

I have come to the realization that I will never know everything.  If I did know everything, what a boring life that would be.  But with age comes wisdom, even though I am not very wise either.  Nevertheless,  I have matured a little since my teenagehood.  I still pretend to be a know it all, but that is ok because I know that I really am not.

Sarcasm and humor seem to get me through adulthood.  But it still would be nice to go back, back when I knew everything.
