I took my lovely Grandpa in my car to the shopping centre the other day

to buy some new shoes he's been needing for a while (he's 92). 

It was midday, so we decided to grab something to eat at a really nice cafe there.

I noticed that he was watching a teenage boy sitting at the table opposite to us.

This young guy had spiked hair in all different colours - green, red, orange and blue.

My Grandpa kept staring at him. The teenager would look, now and again and find

him staring every time.

When the teenager had had enough, he sarcastically asked,

"What's the matter old man, haven't YOU ever done anything wild in YOUR life?"

Knowing my Grandpa very well, I quickly swallowed my food, so that I wouldn't choke on

his response - positive that he would have a good one!

And in his classic style, Grandpa did not bat an eyelid with his thoughtful reply.

I drew in a very deep breath and waited.

"I got drunk once," he stated clearly, "and then I had sex with a peacock.

So I just wondered if YOU were my son."
