My mother tells me that he loved it, that is, the jumping out of airplanes part. My mother tells me about this funny little man who would still jump, she tells me, if only he wasn't so old if only he wasn't going blind if only there was a way that people wouldn't shoot at him. My mother tells me about this funny little man who is her father, who jumped out of airplanes so he could kill people who spoke the same language her grandmother spoke. I don't think he's jumped since. He's very soft-spoken, though he doesn't like to be bothered.
Small children are cute, but often noisy.
He can be kinda gruff, kinda meek, kinda quiet, but, boy, he did jump from airplanes. That must mean something.
