CUANDO SEAS PADRE COMERAS HUEVO
(When you grow up you will have eggs)

Hello readers,

I have been torn about using this title because I do not know how many people is going to understand what I am trying to say.

In Spain when I was young and I saw a bike in a window and I told my mum, “I want it, I want it” my mum would tell me “cuando seas padre comeras huevo” or another example. My father would be riding his motorcycle and I will tell him “I want to, I want to” my father would tell me “cuando seas padre comeras huevo”.

It is sentences that tell you in a metaphoric way that there are certain things that you can do when you grow up and that you cannot do when you are young. My wife interferes to say that it does not mean just that. It also has something to do with the fact that whenever you are the master of your own house and family you will gain the right to eat eggs meaning to do what you fill are right.

And I thought about that the last few days because the left over of my youth are disappearing. It is true that one person is young as long as your spirit keeps young but my point is that if you live surrounded by people that behave grown up then you have to live a little bit like them to fell part of something and you start to pick up the ways and the things from grownups.

I am not trying to say anything against grownups, to try to do something like that it would be like having problems with being a life, or problems with the fact that our heart would stop at one point, to fight against the inevitable but my thing, the point I am trying to make for a while is that there are things that are more normal in grown ups life like; I have to buy a new car, my child woke up in the middle of the night and I have not sleep, my wife wants the divorce and I don't think I have done anything wrong, I am going to re-Moorgate my house   so my kids can go to the University…

There are so many examples that there is not enough space in this blog. And I am sure that all of you that are reading that can identified whit theses lets call them symptoms.

I fell there is something sad about it because for many years I have benefited from now needing to grow up and now my friend comes to me with a grown up problem and I want to try to help so I have to grow up.

I have grown up. I do not like it at all, I did not want it and nobody asked me before. I refuse to grow and nobody is going to make me… sad because there is nothing you can do. I am just going to take the ride and enjoy every single moment as much as I can. I recommend you to do the same thing.

Have fun.
