Grandpa is 79... He looks 179.
Dude, what the fuck.
Okay...
*exhale*
I decide to go have a smoke at the dining room table (smoking is allowed when Grandpa and Uncle John are at the house), and my grandpa stands up (this took a LOT of energy) from the couch and says "James... Come here".
I think "Ah shit... A 'grandpa talk.'"
I say "Sure," and walk to him. He says "I just want you to help me down the stairs.
As we walk REALLY slowly to the back door he says "Now all you have to do is walk ahead of me and hold my hand. Do you think you can do that?"
I say "Yup. I think I can... uh... handle that."
We slowly move done the stairs, me in front, holding hands.
He gets to the last step and says "Okay. You did it man!"
I pause, look him in the eye (we're WAY too close at this point), and say "Teamwork, grandpa... Teamwork".
Did he just want to hold his grandson's hand?
Must be.
Because he could have gotten anyone to do that. Like his son, who usually does, and usually he doesn't ask. It just happens, because no one wants a dead grandpa at the bottom of the stair case.
His hands are so gross.
I'm going to spit on his coffin for that.
