what planet does the "ol fullah" inhabit?
the "ol fullah" needs hearing aids. he's had them for a while now. you can't see them cause they are really small. the technology is pretty good. he hears well when he wears them. do you think he will wear them? not on your life. for some bizarre reason, he refuses to wear them. he seems to think it's funny that it causes quite a few misunderstandings. this arvo he was down in the bustling metropolis that is the naenae shops, when talking to a shop keeper [who was talking about his phone] was heard to respond with the question, "carving bone?" this really tickled my mum's fancy. she had to withdraw and find a nice quiet place for her mirth filled breakdown. she was still giggling to herself when she arrived home later to tell us all about it. you know, he still missed the point.Labels: hearing aid, ol fullah

My old man spent his last ten or so years being as contrary as possible. At the time it was difficult to deal with but looking back it was sooo clever and funny and so right for him. It was sometimes exasperating and embarrassing and even bizarre but it was a way for him to assert that yes he was old but he was not part of the furniture. You could never take the old fullah for granted.
All of us kids miss the delinquent old bugger and I for one hope that I'm as eccentric at his age...
amen to that.
