I had a memory come to mind yesterday.
Waiting for the food to arrive,
I saw a picture on the wall.
It was of an old man,
Arms crossed, clothes stained.
I instantly thought of my great-grandfather.

The memory that came to mind was not sad,
But playful,
Funny,
Something that would put a smile on your face.

Let me paint the picture for you.
Imagine someone's 7th birthday party.
Now imagine someone's 90th birthday party.
Now, imagine them together.
That’s right, the bouncy house, the old people, the cake.
It was all there.
Imagine all the little kids running around as they do.
Imagine the old people having their grown-up conversations,
And calling to their children.

What would happen if those two worlds mixed?
The young and the old.
Place one of the older ones into the bouncy house.

This was the memory I had.
My great-grandfather bouncing,
In a bouncy house with me on my 7th birthday.

I had a memory come to mind yesterday.
But playful,
Funny,
It will put a smile on your face.
