What a Pervert!

What A Pervert!

My granddad, or Papa as we call him, is about as old fashioned as it gets,
 
 and he is a man of very few words. He’s the type of elderly man, 74 I
 
 believe, that thinks anything modern such as music, television shows,
 
 books, etc. is corrupt and should be like it was in the “good ole days.”
 
 Because of his beliefs, he basically views everything and everyone as
 
 perverted. Now I want you to picture a family dinner where everyone is
 
 talking and having a good time, and then something is said about the
 
 government, a new movie, or something slightly risque. The dinner table is
 
 abuzz with laughter, and then Papa chimes in from his chair at the end of
 
 the table with one word…”Pervert.” He hasn’t been a part of the entire
 
 conversation, but whenever he hears something that pertains to a subject he
 
 disagrees with, everyone knows it because now that person or thing has been
 
 deemed as perverted. We all crack up whenever he calls someone perverted,
 
 because he sees even the most innocent things as perverted.  Just yesterday
 
 he accused Paula Dean as being perverted because she winked at the camera
 
 during one of her shows. Apparently down-home country cooking is too
 
 over-the-top for Papa!

Papa’s frivolous use of the word “pervert” has become a part of many jokes
 
 and conversations in our family. Whenever someone says they are going to
 
 get ready for bed, watch TV, eat, or anything that is completely innocent,
 
 the room will get quiet for a second and then, under their breath, someone
 
 will mutter “pervert.” To many people the word “pervert” only applies to
 
 people who are actually perverted. But in my family, you never know when
 
 you’ll be accused of being a pervert!

I love your blog!
