Opa Johan's E Mail To His Grandchildren 4
By 2040 you’ll be mothers and fathers as your fathers and mothers now are and your children as disobedient as you now are. You would have just one child at most. You argued: “We won’t be as stupid as our grandfathers/grandmothers who had more than one, five, seven, … children and be their nurse maid”.
It’s 2070. Have you ever imagined yourself as by that time you are as old as I am now. Your grandchildren are as tall and strong as you are now. But that’s a long way off.
They welcome you: “Hi oma, Hello opa! We’re going to Paris shopping. Are you coming with us? Our class this semester will visit the Himalayas. Did you really kiss your opa on your 17th year, oma? That was brave. Ha, ha, ha.”
”Sure, as I’m a scarecrow myself now and so you would. He, he, he. I certainly was a cute teenager, you dumb head.”
