The first (actress) grandmother was scheduled to arrive at two o'clock, but arrived at three.
A small, Asian lady in the essential small, Asian mode of transportation (the Toyota Camry), I stood watching in the window as she parked in the driveway. I also stood watching in the window as she did not exit the Toyota Camry, but sat placidly for over a minute. Finally, she exited, and proceeded to walk down the street in the midst of snowfall.
Did I mention she's seventy-four?
When she returned ten minutes later, I opened the door and attempted to take her bags. She unleashed a broken English harangue in which I was repeatedly reprimanded for not immediately throwing the door open upon her crossing of the driveway threshold.
The actress grandmother had made her entrance.
The Toyota Camry is definitely the "essential Asian mode of transportation." I can picture your seventy-four year old grandmother haranguing you for not opening the door for her -- that's what Chinese grandmothers do. In general, I loved the detail in this blog post. I learned a lot about your grandmother in only several short paragraphs, and from your tone, I can tell you were feeling a bit exasperated, but you love her anyway.
