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