A New Generation....

Scene: outside. J has emerged from the house with a cup of tea. A is prancing in the yard with a large squirt gun.

J (noticing A's stockinged feet): "Bud, put on some shoes. Where are your shoes?"

A: "My shoes are wet." (Prances over grass and pavement while waving gun.)

J: (thinking, 'And how did they get wet?'): "A, you're going to wear out your socks that running around outside with no shoes."

A: "Okay..." (Puts on cowboy boots)

J: (thinking, 'I'm sure that somewhere there are at least three ladies over 60 who are enjoying this....')
