But for some unknown reason, my grandfather wanted to see a movie and had received free tickets for It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World at RCMH.
This shocked me. I thought all he like to do was play cards and watch baseball on TV. He was a business man 100% through and through. I swear he wore a tie when he went to bed.
So off we went to RCMH. And to my total surprise, my grandfather is laughing hysterically throughout the movie. I had never seen him laugh. Not once. I spent most of the time staring at him instead of watching the movie. |
70 here. I saw that movie at 10 while living in North Carolina and it's STILL my most favorite movie. I'm with your dad on this, what a laugh that movie is.
