I took my dad to the mall the other day to get him some new shoes
(he’s 92!). We stopped at the food court for a quick bite
, and I noticed he kept watching a teenager with wild, spiked hair – bright green, red, orange, and blue
. Dad just kept staring
Every time the kid looked over, there was my dad… still staring. Finally, the teen snapped, “What’s the matter, old man? Never done anything wild in your life?”
I braced myself.
I knew my dad was about to say something unforgettable. Without missing a beat, he said:
“Got drunk once and had a wild night with a parrot and a peacock. Just wondering if you were my son.”
