One of the children's books in the latest batch I borrowed from the library, is about time. And one of the pages has a picture showing a young baby, a pre-teen girl, a youngish adult woman and a grey-haired woman.
From new life to aged decreptitude in less than a second.
I've seen insurance ads on the telly which effectively do the same thing i.e. show a baby grow up, find a job, get married, greet his new grandchild and finally, dodder away to his grave.
Am I the only one who finds these sped-up lives thoroughly depressing?

They are depressing but they are also a good way for a guy to see what to expect if he gets married, ha,ha..
I find that my own life seems to be speeding up in the same fashion which is depressing enough!
happy and blue2: but there isn't one depicting a time line for a single guy - baby grows up, gets a job, gets drunk, tries picking up numerous women, dies surrounded by fat, illegimate children hoping for an inheritance ;-)
ms mac: my feelings exactly!
beth: when I went back to university, I had to put up with the fact that the last time I was there, I was about 18 years younger. But my grades were much better second time around ;-)
You're right. Those types of ads are really what I'd call 'uppers'.
