Pop: If you can "huh" you can hear.
You: So we were playing outside and...
Pop: What do you mean we? Do you have a mouse in your pocket?
You: *being too slow*
Pop: My grandmother was slow, but she was old.
You: Hey, Pop!
Pop: Hay is for horses, straw is cheaper.
You: Sorry I'm running late. I'm coming.
Pop: So is Christmas.
"Tell me this, people keep talking about how all our pollution is putting holes in the ozone layer. What do they think rockets are doing when we shoot 'em into space. How's a rocket going to get through the ozone without making a hole?"
Me (reading plaque with Mazzaferro crest on it): This says "mazza" means "club," and "ferro" means "iron." I guess "Mazzaferro" means "iron club."
Pop: You're just like this one (pointing at Grandma). It says "mazza" means "club." So it's "club iron."
Note: Someday Amanda and I are going to open a dance club called "Club Iron." Or a gym. That could work, too.
My grandfather left this world today, but he is still alive in our hearts and memories. Please leave your Popisms or memories about Pop in the comments.
