Up on the roof and other physical feats of a 77 year old.

So, I was talking to my Dad yesterday. And he said that “you never see young people on the street anymore. Not one who looks willing to hold a ladder, so I can go up on the roof and put up a new antenna”. “Young people nowadays” he says. Pauses. “Good thing my friend Conrad called. Had him in mind to help me out.” Should I remind my Dad that he is almost 77? Better yet, he has cable and dish. I have no idea what he signal or beloved show he gets on his antenna, short wave radio, and all other gadgets that he tinkers with. My mother would’ve 🙄 — “He’s on the roof again.” I am laughing too at the part where he is looking for a unsuspecting young person to give up an hour of their life to hold the ladder for him. It’s like straight out of some sitcom.
