I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes (he is 92). 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
colors: 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
had enough, he sarcastically asked, 'What's the matter old man, never done
anything wild in your life?'
Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so I would not choke on his
response, knowing he would have a good one, and in classic style he did not
bat an eye in his reply. 'Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock. I was
just wondering if you were my son.'
