p10 tribune y october 3 1990 theres just no there was no respect for youth when i was young and now that i am old there is no respect for age i missed it com ing and going jb priestley certainly knew what he was talking about and although i dont consider myself exactly old my childrens gen eration obviously think ive got one foot on a banana skin and the other in the grave in fact some kids who drop in dont even seem to notice im there i feel like the human equiva lent of muzak a sort of perma nent background with no sub stance an appliance which can usually be relied upon to dis pense meals snacks clean clothes and a ride home on demand the loving greeting i receive from my offspring at the end of the day goes something like where are my ballet shoesdrawing booksmarkers in such cases attempts at humor are not recommended a witty riposte to the effect that i havent borrowed them lately will only fan the flames of indignation what i should do according to my children is to help them look for whatever it is theyve lost while enduring a stream of complaints about how they are going to be late because they cant find their stupid ballet shoesdrawing booksmarkers any hopes of a grateful thank you when i unearth the lost arti cles from behind the settee buried beneath a collection of single socks and chip crumbs will soon be dashed as they grab them from me and hurl them- selves out of the door without so much as a backward glance before i know it theyre back and its supper time to prove im not one to bear a grudge ive cooked them the only meal they both love whats for supper they cho rus spaghetti i reply with a triumphant flourish oooh havent we got anything else they moan in unison but its your favorite i say kates corner kale gilderdale desperately my voice rising sev eral octaves we used to like it but weve gone off it cant we have pizza throwing the pan across the kitchen may temporarily relieve my feelings but im painfully aware that the resulting mess will not justify my glorious moment of selfassertion goodwood news nowadays its not fashionable to tell your children what to do instead youre required to ask them in a reasonable tone of voice if they would like to put away their jacket wash their plate or lean their bicycle care fully against the garage wall so that daddy doesnt mow it down when he returns from the real world of commerce naturally they wouldnt like to and often dont and as a result their evening greeting from daddy consists of an announce ment callously proclaiming that he has probably crushed one of the bikes beyond repair because it was in the way when he was trying to park the car its obvious that daddy has no idea that youre supposed to respect your children its also obvious that daddy manages- to command more grudging respect than mummy maybe daddy is onto some thing after all local couple visits europe elsie boland correspondent 5m waste systems notice to the residents of whitchurchstouffville
