My Daughter and her husband and child are living in Alaska.
My son-inlaw is in the military, and was just assigned to Alaska
this February. My daughter calls to talk at least every other day.
A week ago today was my birthday and my daughter had called
on Friday to talk and see if the package she sent had arrived,
and to remind me, I was not to open it till my birthday.
We always kid one another about various things. Well this day she
was having a lot of fun with me over the fact that I am getting old.
She often calls me "The Ancient One or Old Man.' So she was really
on a roll that day. She was taking great delight in reminding me of
my age, and of the fact that she is so young.
Their weather in Alaska has been pretty harsh this winter, and last
week she advised me that the temperature was in the 40's and 50's,
and that the snow was just starting to melt. She and my grandson, who
will be 2 years old in June are looking forward to being able to go
out of doors to walk and play. Any one with a little one knows how
hard it is to have to stay indoors all the time.
Any ways, my daughter was having so much fun teasing dear old dad.
I believe she looked up every joke she could find about getting old
and was really laying it on me. We were both laughing so hard there
were tears in our eyes.
This went on for about 45 minutes. I finally spoke up, doing my best
to sound serious and stern, I told her that if the jokes continued I would
whip up a snow storm and send it her way. Well she laughed at that and
said "Yeah Right Old Man you're dreaming now, shows just how old you
are getting!" Ha Ha Ha. I just kept telling her I was going to send a big
one her way. Well we finally hung up the phones.
Next day the phone rings. My daughter says "Alright Daddy thats enough."
Turns out it was snowing big time. :lol:
I jokingly told her that I deliver on my promises! So we continued to talk
and she looked out the window and found the snow had stopped. I told
her that I figured she had learned the error of her ways. She laughed and
we hung up the phones again.
The next day on my birthday she called to wish me Happy Birthday and
see how I liked the gift she sent, some old John Wayne Westerns on DVD. :)
Then she commenced with the jokes about being old again. After awhile
I told her I'd send her another snow storm if she didn't start being nice
to Dear Old Dad. She laughed and said "Yeah right just cause you got
lucky the other day." I had used up my luck she said. Little while later call
ended.
Next day phone rings, Daughter informs me that the sun is shining, but it is snowing, big fluffy snow flakes. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Moral of the story for you young folks. "Don't Mess With The Old Man!"
He just might surprise you. B) :lol: :lol: :lol:
