can anyone tell me what this means?

[MizTink]

"your son is a sage and an inspiration to me"

 

[Thumper_Man]

In this case, Sage would mean "wise person."

 

[MizTink]

ah, thank you!

 

[foolishmortal]

they think your son is an herb, and that is probably inspiring them to wrote a book or movie about him because how on earth can an herb move talk learn teach etc...


or on second thought, yeah thumper_man is probably more right then I am

That they were smoking something when they wrote it?

Also, I am pretty sure they used "sage" wrong-not as the meaning but in the sentance. Wouldn't it be "he is sage" instead of "he is a sage"?


But I think the intent they had was very nice.

 

[Frantasmic]

It's from that Shakespeare quote:


All the world's a sage,
And all the men and women merely players:


or something like that


Nope, a sage is a wise person who has sagacity (wisdom) and is sagacious.
So, your parenting must be sinking in and he's an inspiration to others.

Sage can be a noun too
from dictionary.com:
–noun
1.a profoundly wise person; a person famed for wisdom.
2. someone venerated for the possession of wisdom, judgment, and experience.

Sage is a herb. His teacher is inspired by a herb. Clearly, they are smoking marijuana together. I can't believe non one on the Dis saw through this!


Just kidding, of course! What a lovely compliment on your child!

Sage is one of my favorite colors - and I _DO_ find it pretty inspirational!
