The Guiding Light / Sept. 2015 15
I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes (he is 76). 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 her.
The teenager kept looking and would find
my dad staring every time..
When the teenager had had enough,
she sarcastically asked:
"What's thematter, old man,
never done anything wild in your life?"
Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not
choke on his response. I knew he would have a good one!
In classic style he responded without batting an eyelid ....
"Got stoned once and had sex with a parrot. I was just wondering if
you might be my kid."
