lol. You could act really smug when you forked his queen with a check then. I'm determined to grow up into a curmudgeonly old man. They have the most fun. You know, selective hearing, and doddering to the front of queues and all that.
I think my favourite old person story, was told by my English teacher, also the field hockey coach of our olympic team in Barcelona. He would try to get tickets to the Track and Field events and because he was wearing a suit (for various coaching functions), he very politely yet authoritatively pushed to the front of the queue, by simply saying "excuse me, excuse me" ...
Old men can be the best yeah. I can't wait to ask my grandchildren for a cup of tea every 30 mins, or insist on watching gardening shows when their cartoons are on. They will have to earn their inheritance 🙂
