The Story

It’s Dad’s birthday and Walt spots a perfect opportunity to wind him up. Firstly he comments on the extra grey hair, and says they should order some colour. He then decides some hair restorer wouldn’t go amiss either.

They head out to the shops, Walt follows behind his Dad, holding a walking stick saying his Dad forgot it. His Dad says it belongs to Grandad. Next up, Walt asks if his Dad needs help crossing the road, then complains the noise of his joints creaking is really putting his nerves on edge. He claims his Dad is too deaf to hear it.

Next they pass a queue, which Walt says his Dad should join, saying it’s the queue for the old aged pensions! Then one of Walt’s mates calls out that Sloane’s Store are giving away a free goody bag with every purchase. They al dash down there. Walt’s Dad gets to the front of the queue whilst Walt is last. His Dad surmises Walt must be getting old!
