Antiques?

The older I get, the more I realize that many of those things people are trying to sell as antiques are really things that I remember from when I was younger. A couple of months ago, we spent some time walking through an antique shop in Walla Walla, Washington. It slowly dawned on us that many of the objects we were looking at were things that we played with when we were little. There was a pedal car, a doll stroller and even a set of play dishes that looked just like ones I remembered playing with. They were not only old, but they were asking ridiculous prices for them. It made me feel really, really old.
However, being old is not necessarily a bad thing. The Bible says, "Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding?" (Job 12:12) Of course, now the problem is convincing others that I have wisdom and understanding!
