SIL:  "Grandpa, I keep hearing this strange noise in the kitchen and I can't figure it out."

ME: "What appliances do you have or what are you running?"   (I'm thinking the furnace is sending a "vibration" because it's cold out and it's running often)

SIL: "I cut the power to the whole house and it is still there!"

ME: "Then what you have there son, is one of the grand kids stuck some battery operated toy in one of the
cabinets and the battery is low and making a indistinguishable sound."

SIL: "No fucking way, I just found it....You are awesome grandpa, this was driving me nuts."

ME: " No problem kid, been there and done that."

SIL: I'm ready to take a hammer to this thing."

ME: No, just put new batteries in it and hand it back to my grand child."

We're still good for something.

ETA: I've had a few whisky's tonight so I surprised myself with my rapid explanation.

I can tell you that would be about the only reason I would want a kid. So that I could buy annoying ass toys when they have kids. So I guess I'll have to just give my buddys kid annoying toys, seeing as I'll likely never have a kid.

I would hope it is in the same manner as a mother and father refer to themselves as mom and dad around the kids. Might be out of the same habit.

Some of you young guys.

Yes he calls me grandpa, because he loves his kids and that is how the grandkids refer to me.

You will understand some day.

I hid one of these in my brother's house. Drove him absolutely nuts for a week. The best part was him accusing his son of planting it.

....when we find a dildo, we have to use an indefinate article and say "a" dildo, never "your" dildo implieing ownership of said dildo.
