I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes. He is 66.
We decided to grab a bite at the food court. While we were eating, a teenager sat down at the table next to us. She had spiked her hair in all different colors — blue, green, orange, red, purple – and my crusty old dad couldn’t stop staring at her.
Every time she looked over, she caught my dad staring. When she’d finally had enough, she 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 wouldn’t choke on his response – I knew he’d have a good one.
He didn’t bat an eye, “Got stoned once and screwed a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my daughter.”
