Charley and Lola

"Grandpa, I like to watch Charley and Lola on TV."
"Yeah, well that's cool. But when I was a kid, there
was no way I could have a TV in my room."
"Grandpa, what? Were you guys Nazis? Did you live
in Communist China? Did you have outdoor plumbing?"
"No, it was just the rich kids that had TVs in their room.
We had one TV in our house and it had a giant doily on it
with rabbit ears antenna and aluminum foil. We watched
rich Haole families on TV that wore suits and ties in the
house. The only bookbooks on TV was Faustino Respicio
and Filipino Fiesta."
"Wow Grandpa, now I know why you're mental."
