Trifextra: In Due Time

This weekend's challenge for Trifecta is short and sweet. As soon as I read the prompt, I knew my three words instantly. Here's what they are asking us to do: 

Robert Frost one said, "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on."  We want you to do the same.  Sum up anything you want, but do it in three words.  Your response should mirror Frost's quote by beginning, "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about--."  And the last four words are yours to choose. 

In Due Time

In three words I can sum up everything 
I've learned about time: it fools you.

    You got that right! When you're young, it drags by, and then when you're older you can't get it to slow down.

    OK - Blogger ate my comment before I could hit enter. Hmmmm... Take two. I really like that, and I really hope I can get back to being a regular commenter over here. I've been stretched so thin this summer, but I hate being silent when I really really enjoy your stuff!!

    Doesn't it? Seems especially true when the kiddos start school/growing away from you.

    Thanks for linking up!
