Not just any old man, but a grandpa. Grandfathers possess a unique charm that balances grumpiness with affection, and honestly, I’m not too upset about this realization. Who doesn’t enjoy the company of a grandfather, even if he tends to frown more than necessary?
Lately, I’ve noticed some amusing similarities between myself and the classic elderly gentleman:
- My pants seem to ride higher than everyone else’s, defying current fashion trends.
- I’ve found myself grumbling, “kids these days,” loudly enough for them to hear, proving my point.
- I take my kids to the playground, only to regale them with tales of people who’ve had unfortunate accidents on the very equipment they’re using.
- My right knee has developed an uncanny ability to predict rain.
- I have a favorite chair in front of the TV that I fiercely protect, much to the annoyance of the family.
- Whenever my kids need quarters, they know I’m their go-to source.
- I rise with the sun, enjoying a bowl of oatmeal while keeping an eye on the weather because of my knee’s whims.
- Lunch is a pre-noon affair for me.
- Dinner is served promptly at 5 p.m.
- By 8 p.m., I’m ready to call it a night.
- I frequently ask my kids to “pass me the remote.”
- Why on earth would I pay someone to handle repairs I can manage myself?
- I’ve embraced bifocals.
- Night driving? No thanks.
- I find more joy in listening to my kids play Kick the Can than in their video game marathons.
- My shoes are oversized and built for comfort.
- When going out to eat, a cozy diner beats a fancy restaurant any day.
- I’ve been told I raise my voice when I’m merely speaking in my indoor voice.
- I’ve discovered eyebrow hairs that seem to have a mind of their own, longer than the hair on my head.
- The only trick I can perform is pulling a coin from a kid’s ear.
- My collection of soap bars could rival a small convenience store.
- I feel ready for any scenario life throws my way.
- When I watch the kids from the couch, I often find my eyelids heavy.
- My candy of choice? Butterscotch Life Savers.
- My little ones enjoy sitting on my lap, asking me to share stories about “the olden days.”
And I could go on, but you catch my drift.
I’ve got to dash now. I’m off to meet my pals at the local VFW, where we’ll discuss the rising gas prices over a strong black coffee, and yes, it’s uphill both ways.
