“A Classic Comeback: A 92-Year-Old’s Witty Response to a Teenager’s”

I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes (he is 92).

We decided to grab a bite at the food court. I noticed he was watching a

teenager sitting next to him. The teenager had spiked hair in all different

colors: green, red, orange, and blue. My dad kept staring at him. The teenager would look and find him staring every time.

When the teenager had had enough, he sarcastically asked,

“What’s the matter, old man, never done anything wild in your life?”

Knowing my dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not choke on his response,

knowing he would have a good one. In classic style, he did not bat an eye in his response.

Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock , I was just wondering if you were my son
