Say What?

So, today the old farts hired two 11or 13 year old local kids to move heavy boxes about the Norwich house. While in the basement they were overheard to utter;

Boy1: “This basement smells better than my grandparents.”

Boy2: “Why?”

Boy1: “ Theirs smells like the civil war.”

Boy2: “How do you know what the civil war smells like?”

Boy1: “Cause he reenacts it down there all the time”
