Losing Our Marbles

On Sunday, the pastor talked about spending our time wisely. He said that Americans have an average life span of about 70 years (and he rounded up to 80 to be nice). He has a jar, full of marbles. 12 for every year between now and when he hits 80. He's 44, so he has another 36 years (that makes 432 marbles). We did the math on our family and:
Dad is 50, so he has 360 marbles left.
Mom has sworn me to secrecy.
I am 23, so I have 684 marbles left.
Grandma turns 80 in 3 months, so she only has 3 marbles left.
We told grandma that in 3 months she would lose all her marbles; too true. We all had a good laugh.
