Watch Your Back, Pa-Paw!

There's nothing like a moving story depicting the unbounding and sacrificial love of family. This is definitely not that kind of story.

Detective Kyle Wilson said Daniel Brown donned a ski mask and jacket, armed himself with a handle from a hydraulic floor jack and made the 10-foot hike to his grandfather's home next door.

"There's a woman that lives there with his grandpa," Wilson said. "He said, 'Sit down, Bernice.' Then he goes to his grandpa's room and he says, 'This is a robbery, I need your money, and I mean it, Pa-Paw.'"

If this story wasn't so funny, I might cry! Why bother with the mask if you're going to call your victim by name? Poor Pa-Paw. Not only was he robbed in his own home, he also has an idiot for a grandson! This kid needs a kick in the shorts.

Good grief! There's a naivete to that that's almost endearing!

I couldn't quite put my finger on why that article captured my attention. You, Ginger, hit the nail on the head. That is precisely why I enjoyed this story so much! Thanks!
