Time to get back to school

Dear Lord help y’all if you’re kids are anything like mine. Over dinner the subject of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory came up. Apparently, according to my kids, Grandpa Joe was not only a socialist but also a BUM! 

Baby Sweets said he laid in bed for 20 years while his family struggled doing nothing and Beaux said he pretended to be crippled then pulled a, and I quote, “Billy Ray Valentine” and was miraculously healed when Charlie got a golden ticket. 

I did a little reading on Grandpa Joe and a lot of people were angered by him as well. 

Then the kids fill up some water balloons to take Beeps with in the front yard. “Go ahead Dad! You go first.” They told me. Apparently 50 is the age of gullability because I grabbed a bat and stepped to the plate. Literally a paper plate they put on the ground. First pitch Baby Sweets drills me and says, “Don’t crowd my plate old man” while his sister laughed. Then as I was wiping the water out of my eyes, they proceeded to soak me with the rest of the balloons they had filled. They gave me a towel and the Boy said he was disappointed that my reflexes were so bad I couldn’t get out of the way. 


It’s time!

Sounds like fun times! Great that you get to enjoy it now, because in a few years they'll be off the college. Wish I had more time throwing water balloons, because I'd target Tom Brady, Jim Harbaugh, and the entire Colquitt County staff for almost giving me a heart attack in 2017.
