"Oh, I'm sure you'll be very surprised about it! Hahaha!"

While eating breakfast, the two are having a conversation as usual.

"Oh yeah, Harvey my boy. When will my daughter Clara come to pick you up?"

"You mean mom? I dunno. Probably be next week. I think she's still busy with her work in the office with my dad."

"Sounds tough eh? Haha! That's why I decided that living in the countryside will be much better than in the city. You got fresh air, sustainable food, and best of all, it's peaceful. On the other hand, too much pollution, crowded areas, and a lot of political crap"

"Hmhmm. Igehyurpeynt ( I get your point )" he said while munching some bread.

"I also don't like political stuff as well. " Harvey added

"Haha! Looks like you also inherit that from your mom eh? Oh speaking of your mom, I remembered Clara when she was just a mere child. She always calls me Papi and cries when she gets lost sight of me. That's why sometimes I prank her by pretending that I left her while walking or playing. Haha! But when she is about to cry desperately looking for me, that's when I will go up to her and cheer her up. And when my wife got a wind of me that I pranked Clara, man, she will always scold me for hours! Hahahaha! "

The grandpa sighed while reminiscing about the past. He then sips some hot coffee.

"Hahaha, really gramps? I've never heard of that! I didn't know that mom was like that before. Mom is always strict and stern with us."

" Hahaha. Well, she inherits that from my wife! Your grandma is also strict and very harsh towards us before - but in a good way! "

" Hehe yeah. Oh right, about my birthday present gramps? "

" Yeah about that. Finish your plate and I'll go ahead first to prepare it. I'll call you when it's ready. "

"Sure gramps."

Harvey finishes up his plate and proceeds upstairs to his room while his grandfather prepares the presents.

After a couple more minutes...

"HARVEY! YOUR PRESENTS ARE HERE! COME OUTSIDE TO THE BACKYARD! " Grandpa Alex shouted outside of the house.

Harvey rushed downstairs and opened the backdoor. There, he sees his grandpa presenting guns on a table with boxes of ammunition.

"Tada! Here's your birthday present my boy!"

Grandpa Alex presents on a table: a scoped M40 Remington rifle and a Browning Hi-Power pistol.

Harvey's eyes widened. He is stunned by his gramps' presents.

"Woah, gramps! These are so cool! Wait, am I gonna shoot these guns? "

"Of course boy! Hahaha. But first, let me teach you about the basics and safety. " Grandpa Alex said as he waved Harvey towards him

Grandpa Alex then teaches the safety of using a gun. The mechanics, proper control grip, and posture of firing.

...

...

After minutes and minutes of teaching...

"Alright. We're done with the introductions. Let's do some actual shooting! What gun do you want to shoot first? Both guns are great ya know" Grandpa Alex said cheerfully as he presents the two guns.
