James Frederick Sanders in 2 years...

so my hubby thinks it's the funniest thing in the world, to take pictures of old guys with his camera phone (these 3 pictures are all different occasions). he thinks it's hilarious that they really wear black dress socks with shorts and orthopedic shoes...
or white tube socks up to their knees with black dress shoes...
or no socks at all...all the while, hiking up the pants.
he'll even chase 'em down in the grocery store to get a good shot. he followed these last two out to the parking lot (seriously, don't ask me why).
he always tells me that this is what he's going to look like in 2 years, and he frequently walks around the house with his basketball shorts up to his chest, hunched over and bull-legged, imitating what i have to look forward to (his imitation is so convincing, it's a little disturbing...sometimes i have to look away:)
so now van thinks it's funny to come out with his pants hiked up playing "grandpa van" and say "o.k, i'm ready to go to the store, let's go!"
(pretending like there's nothing unusual about how he's dressed)

welcome to the Sander's house where everyone is easily amused!

That's vintage weasel. You should see him doing his Mr. Burns dives in the swimming pool. I would've loved to have seen a pic of Fredgie with his shorts hiked up, maybe even an action shot of him doing the old guy golf swing

That is hilarious! I was laughing out loud that Fred actually follows these old men around. Do they ever notice? I remember my dad hikin' up his pants and pretending to be an old man and my mom getting disgusted as well! The picture of Van was so funny. Now we need a picture of Fred's imitation :)
