#1 Anticipatory Exhaustion Is Real
Shopping hasn’t even started, but Dad’s already wiped out. The punchline? He’s tired just thinking about the trip—a feeling anyone over 30 can deeply relate to.
#2 X-Ray Glasses and Super Sonic Hearing

Grandpa swears there’s one spot on his body that doesn’t hurt. The test? It fails instantly.
