Harte Posted June 14, 2016 Author #61 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Six of us piled into the van and went to the drive-in to see X-Men: Apocalypse. This was taken there. HMIII had been there a month ago or so to see Angry Birds. He kept saying "Angry Birds." When he found out otherwise, he became disinterested.

kmt_sesh Posted June 15, 2016 #62 Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) That kid gets more handsome every day. Where do his good looks come from? To be honest, I myself would rather see Angry Birds than X-Men. Edited June 15, 2016 by kmt_sesh Punctuation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm his Uncle John. He has a grandfather named John, and he calls all of his grandfathers "Papa"...so this one's Papa John. But for much of his life he called me Papa John by mistake, and sometimes still does. I think he's confused easily. I really don't care. But when he turned four I flew down there to visit him and attend his birthday party. One day I went to his school where they were having a separate birthday party for him, and sat down next to my dad (who was 83 at the time). One of my nephew's little friends walked up to me and asked, "Are you [nephew's name]'s grandad?" I mean, really? I was sitting right next to my dad...but do I look that old?

back to earth Posted June 16, 2016 #72 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I like the bit where he has to take the monster back to the pet shop * , but now its so big it wont fit back in the box, so he puts the dog's collar and lead on it, throws a blanket over it and they set off down the footpath. Another kid sees them and says "Who is under the blanket " . "Oh, its just my cousin." "looks pretty weird ..... and look at those feet ! Why is he under a blanket " "Oh ..... he's from Tasmania." (that might be a little to localised to be funny on here) * I know, I know, you are going to say "They don't sell monsters at the pet shop", that's what the boy in the story thought, until he went in there with $50 ; "Don't be silly little boy, there is no such things as monsters ! Who told you all this?" "One of the big boys at school, he said if I give you $50 you would sell me a monster." "And do you have $50 ? " "yep, here it is - see. " "I see ....... " the pet shop man pulls the blinds down in the window, and turns the sign on the door from open to closed and says "Come with me, out the back and down into the basement ." ............ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
