Please pardon my grandpa gushing... again...

 
Billy #4 wants to rock and roll all night and party every day.

Bill #2 feels more like this: 
“I used to rock and roll all night and party every day. Then it was every other day. Now I’m lucky if I can find a half an hour a week in which to get funky.”
—Homer Simpson

"Children are a heritage from the Lord,
offspring a reward from him.
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are children born in one’s youth.
Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them."
—Psalm 127
