"By The Grip of Thelma!"

"Grandpa,
what does
it mean if
I'm always
irritated?"
"Well, my
little slice
of custard
pie, it's a
sign that
you're just
like your
Grandma."
"Yah, but
people are
always like
touching
me and
kissing me
'n smelling
me and
stuff."
"Yah it can
happen a
lot on the
Bus. Just
take it as a
compliment
...people like
babies...so
just go with
the flow..."
"Is that how
you handle
whenever
people smell
you and kiss
you, my old
and decrepid
Visayan Ape?"
"By the Grip
of Thelma!,
people usually gotta buy me dinner first. Then they
can smell and kiss all they want...I just wouldn't smell
my hands after eating green mango and bagoong."
