Allow the elderly man to enjoy the game.

One Sunday afternoon, my friends and I decided to have a game day at my house. We set up everything—pizza, drinks, and the TV blaring with the pre-game hype. Just as the opening whistle blew, my elderly neighbor, Mr. Jenkins, shuffled over with his trusty old remote in hand, a curious twinkle in his eye. “Mind if I join?” he asked, grinning like a kid sneaking a cookie. The next thing I knew, he plopped down in my recliner, and we were sharing fixtures as if we were long-lost pals.
Picture this: Mr. Jenkins, who still thinks a “touchdown” is when you smack your toe against the coffee table, shouting at the screen with more passion than a coach at the Super Bowl. He was convinced that every time the game would be on commercial break, he’d hold his remote and declare, “Now this thing has the power to change the game!” As he pressed every button, the TV switched to cooking shows, infomercials, and even a thriller movie. We couldn’t tell if he was trying to coach the players or auditioning for “Old Man Survivor.” In the end, we decided that letting him watch the game was worth more than just football; we all got a weekly comedy show for free!

He was biding his time, letting the other guy be the distraction. Then he made his move and struck gold. A true champion.

Classic dad move… “You two can’t share? Fine, I’m eating it and neither of you get anything!”

This is obviously a dad with his two asshole kids. He sat between them to prevent their shenanigans and still they fought, so Dad gets the cotton candy. Just more proof that kids never grow up.

They’re not fighting, you can tell they’re just dicking around from the way they’re smiling. I’m sure part of it is just to annoy their dad lol

I’m sure they’re great kids on their own, but put them together on an outing with Dad and assholery ensues. My own boys are two years apart and fight like this all the time at 11 and 13. I don’t see that changing at 21 and 23, 31 and 33, etc. Just because they’re assholes doesn’t mean they’re bad.

My mom is in her 60s and acts like a teenager whenever she and her brother are in the same room.

I see, that’s a fair enough. I think it’s because my son is much too young at the moment for me to completely understand 🫠🫠🫠 but I will admit that the men in my family had a tendency to be….. assholes

My kids are awesome and I love them to death. But good god are they assholes to each other. People tell you having kids close together means they’ll play together and be close. More like they’ll fight all the damn time about the stupidest shit.

Nah, they’re either doing it for the camera or just to humorously annoy him.

Taking the piece out of his hand rather than from the cone was definitely a power move.

Is floss another name for cotton candy?

O

Yeah in the UK we call it candy floss. Don’t ask why, I don’t know, we’re weird sometimes, deal with it.

The French name for cotton candy is “Barbe à papa”, which literally translates as “dad’s beard”. They’re the weird ones.

Why do the Fr*nch just keep giving the rest of us more reasons to hate them?

C

I mean, in a global context, the French are the ones least deserving of hate from anyone right now, particularly the U.S.

O

I’m from the UK, it’s a very deep seated hatred. Most of the time I’m not even sure why I hate the Fr*nch.

I mean, okay, you really do have a point on that one. France started things 1000 years ago, and yeah, they did some seriously fucked up shit for a very long time. You guys get a pass. Hate away, you gnarly toothed wonder! 🙂
