Wise old Man….!
Grandad and Granny went away for a few days last month. He told us they went to a small comfortable hotel in the west. Part of that story was true, they did go to the west but it was a camping holiday.
After they got their tent all set up, both Granny & Grandad fell sound asleep. Some hours later, Granny wakes Grandad and says, “St James’s Street tonight, look up to the sky; what do you see?”
Grandad replies, “I see millions of stars.”
“What does that tell you?” asked Granny.
Grandad scratches his head and ponders for a minute then says, “Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three in the morning. Theologically, the Lord is all powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What’s it tell you, Granny?”
“You are dumber than K8’s dog. Someone has stolen our tent.”

So you were spying on us!
If you had knocked on our [non-existent] tend flap, we would have fried you up some baked beans…

If you’re ever eating beans with Grandad, be sure and sit down-wind.
