I saw my dad for the first time in 20 months last week and he did it, I was very alarmed, but I think he was joking .

In other news he's aged about 10 years since I last saw him (his 65th birthday, so he's nearly 67 now), looks and sounds like a frail little old man, and is having investigations for heart problems... so I'll forgive him the elbow bump since I'm pretty convinced he's not going to be around all that much longer. It was quite shocking tbh.

Though I think he was also a little shocked as the last time he saw my daughter she was 4'7, and now she's 5'5 (and the same height as my wife) .
