Granddad: Family talk time, fellas. I know you've both been wondering why I moved us halfway across the country to Woodcrest. Well, boys, your grandfather has survived nearly seventy years on this Earth as a black man, and you know that ain't easy... I always dreamed of owning a house someplace beautiful like this, a nice quiet place where I can retire and live the rest of my life away from the problems of the city, with really big oak trees in the yard and lakes nearby to go fishing. I don't have to like any of these people here, and they don't have to like me. Huey: Well, what about us, Granddad? Granddad: You don't have to like me either. Now scoot - it's time for "Celebrity Deathmatch".
I tell my kids that I like them (most of the time) and it’s cool that they like me (most of the time) but I am not their friend. I’m the Dad. We can be friends in thirty years or so.
