somewhere between the pages of a history book

So my wife is always telling me I forget things.
So I was like you remember this for me would you? Your younger than I am and the bottom of my mind is all rusty like I don't know if I am going to pass inspection much longer and sometimes I hear a knocking ...like my great great grandfather who has the old timers....who keeps yelling “COME IN!!!” when there is no one there...at least four or five times an hour... then he would look at me and say I saw Babe Ruth hit a home run the other day “ and I say great great grandpa that was 87 years ago...and without even blinking he says “Time fly's doesn't it...who are you again?” and I tell him I am his great great grandson ...to which he replies...”Damn you mean I am a dad!!!.
    We go there to visit whenever we want a history lesson in the present tense...there is nothing like being there when it happens. The great depression..sorry son the only thing we could afford this year was your birthday spanking,but don't worry we got the whole town involved and they are lined up around the block....except for Mr. Thompson, we don't know where his hands have been... .the dust bowl ...the air sure tastes like last nights meatloaf....WWII ….have you heard about this Hitler guy....the moon landing ….when he saw The Planet of the Apes movie he thought it was real and the monkeys had come back from space ...where they were left to their own devices and now they have returned and they are PISSED!...
 He is all like man did you see that cheetah chasing that gazelle I mean in the long run the gazelle can outlast him but in close the cheetah has the advantage...that is how I got your great great grandmother...back then on a first date we would just look at each other....it was a while before we even held hands and now a days you youngsters with your long hair and your drugs, first date and your already planning the nursery....oops .He would give me a five spot and ask me to pick him up a pack of Camels and a fifth of whiskey, and to bring him back the change. He thought that everything cost the same as it did in the 1930's. Eventually we had to quit going to see him because it was costing us too much money.
