Grandpa's Hearing

My father-in-law is a really cool old guy.  He tells a great story.  And he's lead a long and interesting life.  He says they're all true, based on a true incident.  He's just the kind of guy that things happen around.  So yesterday I get this email:

I had my hearing checked yesterday and the result was that both ears are wearing out equally but not to the point where a hearing aid would be recommended.

 

The gal that ran the program asked me what made me think that my hearing was going bad.  I told her that some of my kids and grandkids speak softly and rapidly.  She said to tell them to enunciate and slow down.  Then she added..."if that doesn't take care of the problem ....tell them to shut up,"  There was no mention of buying a hearing aid.

He's just the kind of guy that people feel comfortable saying things like that to.  I hope he tells all the kids  (6kids+spouses, 17 grandchildren, so far)
