How It All Goes Down
My Feelings
- Grandma writes from the airport, but she says they aren't going anywhere. Delayed because of the polar vortex perhaps?
- She tells Oskar that she misses him already, then she transitions to talking about the early days of their marriage.
- He would often bring her own magazines so she could learn English expressions (LiLo, Kardashian, junk in the trunk, etc.).
- She tells us about her first Halloween. She didn't understand she was supposed to hand out candy, so she paid a young ghost some cash to go away.
- Also, a confession: she only pretended to type her life story by hitting the space bar over and over again because her life story was filled with spaces.
- She decides that she needs a child, despite this being against the first rule they set, and she tells Grandpa that she's pregnant.
- So he leaves her.
- She knows he's leaving because his suitcase is heavy, so she follows him to the airport.
- She convinces him to stay, so he goes home with her.
- But only for a day. He packs again, and leaves for the airport.
- This time, he doesn't come back.
- Grandma feels the baby kick, and she decides to release all the animals in the apartment, which must look like the boarding house from Babe: Pig in the City by this point.
- They leave and don't come back, just like her husband.
