Old people are always suspicious of everything. They think everyone is secretly after them.
Yea, my grandfather and his tinfoil hat are no longer on speaking terms ever since it failed to protect him from a soviet frequency.
3- its not the hats fault. Tin foil only works protecting against the aliens mind waves.
You should tell him that you are taking those classes so you can be a double agent
Some old people are set in their ways, get your parents to rationalise with him.
I can see where he's coming from though...
Japanese and German? You totally had it coming.
Wouldn't that mean that they are more likely spying on Germany or Japan?
He'll come to terms with it. Give him time
So go back to him and tell him you've got permission from ASIO to tell him you're an Australian spy studying Japanese and German to spy on them. If he asks for proof, tell him of course you don't have any proof, no spy carries proof they're a spy.
My exact thoughts. Add that you are doing it for "national security" and insist that he tells no one in your family! ;)
To be fair, although I never went through WW2 myself I imagine it does take a bit of getting over... Those who fought for for the Axis powers probably feel the same way, regardless of their political views on the matter. It's no surprise really. A couple of years ago, there were two old men walking down the street in my town. They both had a panic attack because a car backfired and it brought back memories of the war. My great grandfather fought in the Polish resistance and earned a war medal for valour, but he smashed it up later on in life because it made him think of his friends who were killed in the war.
Post-dramatic stress syndrome ! Or shell shock ! That's nothing to take lightly.
23- im not being a graammar nazi but just so no one has any misunderstandings: post-traumatic stress disorder
23/26 - not trying to be a grammar nazi but just to add: Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Shell Shock are the same thing.
Yes thank you, #55, I guess I should have elaborated. At first, I thought #23 was being sarcastic, calling it post-dramatic disorder so when I realized it was a typo, I didn't want anyone else to make that mistake. :)
You probably shouldn't have given him the Nazi salute when you saw him last. That MAY have been a tipoff.
Tell him the war is long over.
Try telling that to Drake and Josh's great-grandfather...
#42, War. War never changes. Sorry, too much Fallout. ;(
