You know, that is exactly what my dad said to me...'I'll give it six months'.
When it was our silver wedding my dad came to my house with a silver teapot and sugar bowl...as he congratulated me...I said to him..'it has been a long six months Dad...it felt like 25years to me'.
He grinned and said 'like all women, you have to prove us men wrong'

'Yes dad, you're learning well, just get a few more lessons under your be.t and you might just pass'.
