I joined the Royal Navy directly from leaving school at 15, on my first visit home in more than a year I thought my Mother had a completely different personality, little did I realise that it was actually me who had changed, I'd grown up.

To misquote even better. I think this is closer to his actual quote.
When I was 19 my father was the stupidest man I knew, when I turned 21 I was amazed at how much he learned in just 2 years.

“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”

When I look back at what my mom did, and how she stretched a dollar, fed six kids, ran a house, kept us all out of trouble, and all made a successful life for ourselves. When I became a parent, I think I had a better feel for how truly smart she was, in her own way. She had to leave high school before senior year to work to help support her family, back in the early 40's. So she was basically self educated.

I thought my mom was smart, nice and beautiful at about 5. my dad about 9, when i saw him studying every nite to become a carpenter. But when he read out loud and gave lectures to us kids about politics or Jesus Christ I thought he was an absolute genius. I was right. Plus he was funny and told great jokes, even though he did not know they were jokes. My dad was the most fun and hard working great man I ever saw. He died last year March 2014, from a leg blood clot.
