Armed With A Comeback

(As my dad is getting older, his eyesight is getting slightly worse, meaning he is starting to be unable to read things that are too close to him. We start noticing it when he reads the newspaper and has to hold it further and further away from his face.)

Mum: “Maybe it’s time for you to get glasses?”

Dad: “No!”

Mum: “Well, it’s normal for people our age to have problems with their eyes.” *my mum wears glasses for one or two years already*

Dad: “My eyes are just fine! But my arms are getting shorter!”
