Dear Gabby

Welcome back to the Dear Gabby advice column. I get a lot of questions about aging and how to know when you are officially old. I decided old age is when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it. When I was young, I would sneak out of the house to go to parties. Now, I sneak out of parties to go home. No worries, though. Eventually, you reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it. Go to PostcardsLive.com/share and click on Dear Gabby to drop me a line for issues silly or serious. As we used to say in the 70s; “Write On!”.

DEAR MOM

Keep a very close eye on him and find him a hobby that won’t be so hazardous to his health. He may grow up to be a mechanical genius (if you don’t give him a chemistry set) in the meantime.

I can relate. My son kept chewing on electrical cords, so I had to ground him. He’s an adult now and is doing better currently and conducting himself properly. (Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.)

DEAR GABBY

My son has a bad habit of taking things apart to see how they work and recently stuck a steak knife in the toaster to see what would happen. That could have been disastrous! Any advice?
