Dad At The Mall

[rsteel105]

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 that 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 response.

'Got drunk once, and had sex with a peathingy. I was just wondering if you were my son.'

Strange isn't it how words you type get changed into something else. I bet you didn't write "peathingy" but peac(o)ck (my brackets).
Ah, so it was your Dad was it?

I posted this same joke on another board sometime ago. I had the same problem with the word peac*** being automatically changed. Someone then kindly pointed out that if I used "peahen" which is the one which reproduces there would not be a problem. Still funny though.

Or you could make it a parrot. That's the way I originally heard it!

My Daddy was like that, you could never tell what he was going to come up with next. in his last years, he wanted to stay at home and was afraid to drive 15 miles in heavy traffic to Birmingham, Alabama. so one day, we told him that we were taking him to the store. we took him to the mall, in the city. next week, he made his rounds to his neighbors and told them. 'All of the stores that used to be down town years ago are closed and those buildings are sitting there empty. they are all now under one big roof. Those people are walking from store to store with credit cards and they can't decide what they want.' LOL

Here is a link to a song called, 'My old Man" its by john prine. Thanks for this post for it brings laughs and some good memories.
