Chocolate Milk and Kicks

I have this thing for old men. Basically I think they are the best. They are always in the funniest stories. Here is my list of reasons for liking them;

1. They have candy in their pockets
2. Their faces wrinkle up when they smile
3. They smile a lot
4. Their eyes get all twinkly when they look at young people/babies
5. They realise that you should just enjoy the good things
6. Suspenders
7. Compliments
8. Warm hearty handshakes
9. Quick sincere laughs
10. Winks

There is this older gentleman who is obsessed with chocolate milk. (AWESOME right?! I love it too and would have it everyday if I could.) He lives in a retirement home. So everyday he comes downstairs from his room and goes up to a member of the staff and demands his chocolate milk 'Will you get me my chocolate milk dear? Can I have it now? Go now dearie, now. You aren't going Dear, I need it  now.' And he pesters you until you get his chocolate milk (which the retirement home carries just for him.) After which he professes his love for you and the world around him. 'Dear do you know how much I love, Oh I love you so much dearie.' So the other day he goes outside with his chocolate milk and his love for everyone now that he has it, and sits by another elderly gentleman. He leans over to him and says 'I just love you deary, just so much. I love you' Whereupon the other old man stands up, looks at him and says 'don't you ever say that you me again' and kicks him.

HAHAHA, Old men are the best. The very best dearie.
