Several years ago, my parents, my wife, my son and I ate at one of those 16 where the menu was written on a blackboard. After a wonderful dinner, the waiter set the check in the middle of the table. That was when it 17 : my father did not reach for the check.
18 continued. Finally I realized that I should pick up check! After hundreds of restaurant meals with my parents, and after a lifetime of thinking of my father as the one with dollars, it had all 19 . I picked up the check, and my view of myself 20 changed. I was an adult. I was no longer a kid.
Some people mark off their lives in years, and I measure 21 in small events. I did not become a young man at a particular age, like 16, but rather when a kid who 22 in the streets called me “Mister”. These events in my life are called “milestones”.
There have been other milestones. The policemen of my youth always seemed big, even 23 , and of course they were older than I was. Then one day they were suddenly 24 . Then the day came when I 25 that all the football players in the game I was 26 were younger than I was. With that milestone 27 was the dream that __28__ , maybe I, too, could be a football player. Without ever having reached the hill, I was over it.
I never thought that I would 29 in front of the TV set as my father did. Now it is what I do best. I never thought that I would 30 opera, but now the combination of 31 and orchestra attract me. I never thought that I would prefer to stay home in the evenings, but now I find myself passing up parties. I feel a strong 32 for a religious belief that I never thought I would want, feel 33 my ancestors long gone, and echo my father in 34 with my son. I still lose…
One day I bought a house. One day --- what a day! I became a 35 , and not long after that I picked up the check for my own father. I thought then it was a milestone for me. One day, when I was a little older, I realized it was one for him too, another milestone.
