Keila
Tito’s frail ninety-one year old grandmother has come to stay for several weeks. This is great for Keila, as she has a constant, captive audience (Grandma doesn’t move around much these days). Today she asked her great-grandmother if she’d like to play with Barbie dolls together. She agreed, but soon tired (as you do) of playing Barbies with a six year old. Grandma asked if she could have a little rest. “No” Keila was heard to reply, “if you stop playing Barbies with me I won’t help you to the toilet anymore.” Fair enough, I thought.
