A little before midnight ....

[kiya]

Me: Wow. Everyone's in bed before midnight.
artan_eter: Yeah.
Me: Does this mean we're responsible adults or something?
artan_eter: No.
Me: Does this mean we're fucking exhausted?
artan_eter: Yep.
Me: ... but ... it's amazing how much mature wisdom resembles being too tired!
(artan_eter started quoting along with me towards the end.)

(After the laughter faded....)
Me: Now I want to go post this to livejournal. ... I will do it in the morning.
artan_eter: Is this because of mature wisdom, or being too tired?
Me: It is because it would be kind of pathetic to do. So yes. Also no.

"It's amazing how much mature wisdom resembles being too tired."

There is a lot of truth hidden in this innocuous statement.

It is my favorite Heinlein quote of all.
