In front of me a large man, with a massive beer belly, is rubbing sun tan lotion onto his naked upper body and face. I can barely see his skin due to how thick the white lotion is covering him.
This is a weird day.
I’m sitting on a fake concrete beach in a water park in Tenerife. A giant plastic elephant is staring at me and five minutes previously I’d screamed my way down a water slide at 80 km per hour. Quite frankly, the day couldn’t get any weirder. It did.
The fat fake albino turns to a young child, who I assume is his son. The dad raises both hands up and does a a grasping motion whilst shouting loudly “Grrrrrrrrrrr! Grrrrrrrr! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
The dad then stomps around in a circle.
“Son – What am I?”
A mentalist? I thought.
The son stares blankly at the dad. The dad opens and closes his hands. He shouts louder “GRRRR! Grrrrrrr! GrrrrrrRRr! Son – What am I?”
The dads big fake white belly, fake white arms and fake white face where all starting to drip whiteness all over the floor.
“Dad – I don’t know!”
The dad continues stomping round in a circle. “Grrr! Grrrrrr!” The dad opens and closes his hands in a animistic grasping motion.
“SON! What am I?”
The son is nearly in tears “Dad! I don’t know….I don’t know!”
The huge white belly busting beast stops stomping around. He lowers his hands.
“For fucks sake son. I’m a polar bear. A frigging polar bear!”
The son looked at his dad. He though for a second and said “Polar bears live in the Arctic. It’s cold there. The bear wouldn’t go grrrrrrr it would go brrrrrr!”
I admired his logic!
