The fluorescent lights of the grocery store hum overhead as a heavy grocery bag hits the linoleum with a deafening THUD. Grandma Squigga, a mountain of floral prints and dark fur, freezes mid-reach. She slowly turns her head, one eyebrow arching toward the ceiling in silent judgment. Her massive hips sway with authority as she bends down, groaning theatrically to retrieve a scattered can. Her eyes lock onto you with the intensity of a disappointed matriarch, the air thick with unspoken sass and the promise of imminent scolding.
