the old man... and the teenager
I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes. We decided to
grab a bite at the food court. I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting
next to him. The teenager had spiked hair in all different colours green,
red, orange, and blue.
My dad kept staring at him. The teenager would look and find him staring
every time. When the teenager had enough,
He sarcastically asked, "What's the matter old man, never done anything wild
in your life?"
Knowing my Dad would have a good one, I quickly swallowed my food so that I
would not choke on his answer.
And in classic style he did not bat an eye in his response.
"Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock. I was just wondering if you were
my son."
