The hair on the back of a local dad’s neck has been raised today, after his daughter’s new boyfriend turned up with a case of Canadian Club.
As a lifelong disciple of the XXXX factory, Graham Wilson, told the Advocate he doesn’t care much for this new age of fancy beers and pre-mixed drinks, and he’s not sure how he feels about Sarah’s new squeeze turning up with a case of the things.
“Just makes ya think a bit you know,” said Wilson after the noticeably nervous boyfriend plonked himself on the couch to make chat with one of the cousins.
The new boyfriend, a 32-year-old engineer named Sean made his debut at the inlaw’s Boxing Day ahead of week staying up the coast with the family.
“Obviously it’s not the be all and end all,” explained the dad on the balcony of the Caloundra holiday house.
“But you do wonder why a bloke can’t drink normal beers,” explained the father of 3 who passionately hates the ‘Victorian Cat Piss’ they make down south.
As the bubbly aunty begins her interrogation of the new boyfriend sipping away on his Canadian club which has caused no issues with anyone else, the family patriarch reckons he’ll have to suss out what his go is.
“He seemed alright when I met him out at dinner, but I think I’ll ask him to run the BBQ tonight. Just to prove he’s a man for my Sarah, you know?”
Our reporter said they didn’t really, and Wilson continued.
“It will be tough to let go of the BBQ duties, it always is. But let’s see if he’s up to it aye,” laughed the dad who always acts like the barbie’s a chore but never ever lets anyone else do it.
