Grandma's House Today was kind of "meh." I didn't like it. During lunch, I was talking to Uncle Dirk in English, and I guess Grandma didn't like that. She slammed her hand down on the table and said I was disrespectful for speaking English in front of her. I tried explaining-- in Spanish-- that I just didn't know the words, and my tenses for that sentence got all jumbled because I was startled. Grandma said I was doing it on purpose because I was lazy. I choked down lunch and hid outside. Uncle Dirk found me and was super reassuring. I sat on the porch swing instead. I ended up sneaking inside to take a nap until dinner, which, while we ate, was so uncomfortably hot. Eating in the kitchen, which is small, with that many people... is brutal without AC. So hot I thought I'd pass out. Eventually it was over, and I bolted back outside. I love that swing. Uncle Dirk found me again, and we spent like two hours talking about our favorite TV show
