Grandparents
My awesome grandad flew in Wellingtons in the war. Damn, those shortages were terrible. Tell us about brilliant-stroke-rubbish grandparents.

Culture Clash
I have never really seemed to hit it off with my Grandad. At first I thought it was just that we were different generations and he had no time for me until I realised that we are different in every way. I enjoy playing musical instruments and socialising with a wide spectrum of people while he hangs about in a very closed knit social circle and enjoys watching the TV while at the dinner table. He also takes a bit of a standoff approach to my laid back attitude and lack of career motivation.
Ok so he has a few differences to you, man up and let it go I hear you say but the truth is it doesn’t end there. I guess it has something to do with the fact that I look a bit like my dad because that’s when gramps becomes more unhinged towards me. The most major incident involving me and him was when I was helping out my dad once and the old sod ran me over in his car. No warning or anything just *Boom * one Ko’ed kid.
The thing that really bugs me most is that grandpa would have a different opinion of me if he knew that thanks to me his daughter (my Mum) would have ended up looking like a swamp pig and married to a nobody but due to a few minor changes to the timeline she’s now living a much better life. Better get off I’m off to the lake with Jennifer…if Doc doesn’t turn up again that is.
