kindness with flair

Nana had knee replacement surgery, and Chuck called to check on her. Caroline asked to speak to her. She told her she missed her "really a lot" and explained the stuffed animal catapult she was building. At the end of their conversation, there was a really over-the-top loving farewell. She really really really really really really really really really loves her and hopes she's really really really really really feeling much much much much much much much much better tomorrow. And some more chipper over-the-topness for good measure.

I looked at her as she handed the phone back to Chuck. She smiled at me, shot the finger guns, and said, "Yes. That's how I do it Caroline Style."
