Bob is my 80 year old grandfather, but I call him Bob instead of grandfather. Always have. I moved from my parent's house in January 2010 to Bob's house. Bob is eccentric, even as far as old men go. I always appreciated it, but I was never quite exposed to it this much. Now, I want everyone to know about my experiences. You may laugh, but I shake my head. All of these short stories are true. They are not fabricated or exaggerated. They are Bob at his finest. If 'finest' is the right word

The Gump
While watching the 80's movie "Big", Bob leaps about half-way out of his chair exclaiming, "That is the Gump! That is the guy on the Gump!!!" Without even turning my head, I ask "What is the Gump?" knowing he has no idea what is talking about. "The Gump!" he says again pointing at the screen. Ah, now I see. "Yes, Bob, Tom Hanks is the Gump." I smile as Bob reclines again, basking in the pride of identifying a pop culture icon.
