We were in Aldi's in Middletown today and I saw the most amazing thing. Now before I tell you what it was, I have to say that I don't really like Aldi's all that much, but we decided to stop off today since we had a quarter to rent a shopping cart and some bags in the trunk. I was kind of half-heartedly browsing while my wife took a more serious approach.
Okay, you want to know what I saw. Well, as I looked up from the frozen foods section I saw a man a bit older than I, his hair was grayer, with a shopping cart. Nothing remarkable yet. He turned toward me and I saw the white lettering on his new hunter green t-shirt. What I read amazed me. The lettering said, "World's Greatest Grandpa." That's right folks, just a scant few feet away from me stood the World's Greatest Grandpa!
Now my first instinct was to shake this man's hand and congratulate him. To be the world's best grandpa means that there must have been some serious competition and there must have been quite a few eliminating rounds prior. There had to be a local, regional, state, national, etc to get to the world competition. That's when it hit me . . . why hadn't I heard anything about this . . . and why wasn't I considered in the competition? That stung.
Finally I came to the conclusion that the World's Greatest Grandpa competition must be rigged somehow. Just another myth.
