My grandpa was a simple man‚ and he lived a pretty average life. He wore flannels in the summer‚ and a goofy smile every day. He snuck candy to his kids when they were grounded‚ and quoted The Princess Bride to cheer them up. He answered every phone call with “yellow”‚ and tormented you with the same riddle until you got it right. He could eat a whole box of twinkies and the peas I hid under my plate.
