Fall far from the tree - revisited

Like everyone else in the country, I paid my respects to my dad and grandfather just after the weekend. I went together with our helper, whose been serving the family since she was in her teens. She knew my dad and my grandfather well, so I sometimes like asking her questions about my deceased kin, especially about my dad.

So while walking amongst the gravestones, we had another conversation about them. According to our helper, my dad and grandfather didn't get along well. One reason why they always quarrelled was because of my father's womanizing ways which my grandfather didn't approve of.

In the middle of her story, I interrupted our helper, "I'm glad I'm not like him."

She said, "Who are you kidding? I'm sure you have a woman at the side."

WTF? Yeah right. Where there's smoke, there's fire, I understand. But there's no smoke. She's imagining things. ;)

On the contrary, my grandfather was a straight arrow. That's why he and my dad fought about -- my grandfather disapproved of my dad's womanizing ways.
