In an unfortunate turn of events today, a poor local grandpa’s ears were playing tricks on him.
As the cruel drought gripping the country bites harder and harder, a grandpa on a property out of town thought he might have heard some relief.
Sitting out on the verandah, enjoying a lunchtime cup of tea and a devon sandwich as has been his ritual for as long as he can remember, Peter Caine couldn’t believe his ears.
With not a cloud in the sky, Caine heard the ‘drip drop drip drop’ noise one would normally associate with rain.
With the thought in the back of his mind that maybe some clouds had somehow blown over from the west, the pop ran out into the yard.
However, the poor cocky was crushed to see his two grandchildren leaning out over the verandah roof eating some super juicy corn.
Speaking to The Advocate earlier, Caine told us about the unfortunate scenario.
“Yeah, I thought their might have been a few drops coming down but turns out my bloody grandkids Mack and Maisy were just eating some super juicy corn on the roof,” Caine said.
“I looked up there and saw my prankster grandson, my heart broke a little and I just thought ah Mack Caine, you’ve done it again.”
“We live on a farm? Why the fuck are these kids eating frozen foods from the city”
“The closest supermarket is over two hours away. All I’ve been eating is meat on bread”
“Cotton-wool wrapped little bastards”
