Throwing Rocks Into The Lake With an Old Man

"Grandpa,
why is it so
fun to throw
rocks into
the lake? I
can do this
all day."
"It's fun
cuz when
you throw
a rock into
the lake,
it's kind of
fun to see
what kind
of ripples in
the water
you make.
Sometimes,
the ripples
look like a
bunch of
teddy bears
and other
times the
waves kind
of look like
guitars. But
most of the
time, the
ripples just
look like a
bunch of
cotton balls
or fluffy
white afros."
"Grandpa,
you looking
at the waves
from when I
throw the
rocks...or are
you looking
at the clouds
up in the sky?
Cuz the waves
are mostly
round yah?
I mean the
waves that I
see...are you
looking at
the same
waves I'm
looking at,
you old and
confused Ilocano man???"
"Huh?...um...hey, where's my beer?"
