sigh!
“Hi, Grampa, it’s me, your favorite grandson!” I have answered the phone twice recently and been greeted in this way. The problem is: I have
three lovely granddaughters – but no grandson. This, it seems, is a particularly clumsy, and truly ugly, scam. Have you had a similar
experience?
Both times I simple said something foul and hung up. Next time I am going to try to string the
bastard along, find out what he wants (money, surely) and, if possible, get
some clue as to how to nail him.
I am old, but my
brain still operates at a near-normal level. However there are lots of old people –
with grand kids – that might bite. It is
particularly reprehensible to pick on us old folks, don’t you think? Sure you do.
On average, we humans are not a particularly admirable species. Most of us are okay, and a few of us are downright admirable - but there are way too many shitheads mixed in.

My mother would often refer to me as her 'favorite' daughter! Very funny, as I am an only child :) I do the same with Dawn <3 Haven't had that phone call yet, don't often answer the land line anyhow. But they would have to come up with a better description than 'favorite' when referring to my fabulous grandsons :) Obviously, you were Linda's favorite husband though. <3
