must brag. My grandfather was talking to our neighbor, just friendly chit-chat. Mrs. *Carr made mention of her daughter and I, how we were so much alike. My grandfather stopped her in mid-sentence, admonished her sternly;"Don't even so much as put my grand dawthur' in the same sentence as yo'dawthur. ! My grand DAWTHUR ain't no such a chile as youse ", turned smoothly on his heels, while leaning on his cane, bid Mrs. *Carr a good afternoon and went on about his business , confident that he was right.
Dang! Granddaddy, could you set the bar any higher?
