Goddamn commies

Today, I was told by my grandfather that I was no longer allowed to visit him or to set foot in his house. Why? He found out I have been taking Japanese and German as electives in my degree, so I must be an 'enemy spy'. FML

Old people are always suspicious of everything. They think everyone is secretly after them.

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.

Perhaps he was connected to the service in his younger days?

Point out all the things he owns that were made in Japan.

won't that make it worse? he could start looking up every item he owns and discarding it. he might come to your house and throw out your ps3 and his reasoning will be: China is with Japan!

#24- Good point, but if he grills on a Hibachi, is thrilled with his Hitachi and adores his Mitsubishi, maybe nazi.

China was with the Allies in WWII. On the other hand: Chinese, Japanese, Iceburg, Goldberg...

Some Japanese soldiers were found in the Philippines (I believe) not many years ago. Who genuinely thought the war was still on going. Maybe you should take Grampa out of the bush more often?

Your grandpa seriously needs to get over it.

Yes, because WWII wasn't traumatizing in the least.

He didn't think maybe you are an American spy getting ready to infiltrate the German and Japanese governments? That would make a *whole* lot more sense, given the fact that you are from Australia, a country that speaks English, and learning the languages of two forweign nations that have a history of being aggressive (albeit in the past, having done nothing menacing for 68 years now). Just a thought.

Well you know, that is how spies do it these days with their special courses they take... clearly your grandfather is missing out on a vital piece of information that you are one hell of a spy to make him think you are just a regular Joe blow spy! Teach me your secret OP, I may just join your ranks while undercover. :P

I suppose you can't blame him if fought in the war. But he should know by now, neither country is going to fight against us anymore. If anything, they'll fight with us

Look at it from his perspective. In his day, these were the people trying to take over the world. It would be like telling a conservative today that you're learning Arabic.

Not really. I technically fall more under the conservative category and I couldn't care less if someone wants to learn Arabic, nor would anyone else I know.

Speaking Arabic is different from being a terrorist. Being Islamic is also different. He was probable traumatized from the war, not an ignorant asshole like you

Tell him an amazing story about how you want to better understand the "enemy".
