Caroline walked into her grandparents' house and saw their tabletop Christmas tree.
"Well, that's a nice little tree you've got there, Pappaw."
Later, she told me it was "shrubbish and cute."
...
She is a perfectionist (to put it mildly) and was drawing pictures of puppies and kitties for my ailing grandmother. She said she knows "Granny really likes cats and dogs, and this maybe will make her feel better." Sweetness, right? The drama kind of undermined it...
"Ugh, I did terrible. His tongue is hanging out wrong. [pulling on her own face in agony] It's not perfect at all! It looks like he doesn't even know how to think!!"
...
"This is the goodest maple syrup ever, Marmy. It tastes like... [thinking] mashed up candy."
