and I slapped the
snot out of his nose.

That was a good thing.

See, uh, your daddy had a cold.

And then when I slapped him...
- Whoa!

He got over it.

I actually healed his a*s.

- Come on, Grandpa,
that did not happen.

- Do you have a cold?

- No, stuff... [sniffs]... the dust.

some space?

Does she have a mortgage?

Does she have a condo?

When she get any of

that those stupid people

laid you off.

- Well, it's kinda his fault.

- Grandpa!

- If he had been more
productive, showed his value,

they wouldn't have
laid his a*s off.

being a selfish teenager.

And it is wrong for her
to make you feel bad.
