"Sometimes people hear only what they want to hear," he answered, a little too quickly, I thought. "You know, everyone around here just loves your Granny, thinks she's the greatest."
"But what does that have to do with anything?" I asked. "She just lied to me, wouldn't let me in the house, and is talking with the Robber."
"She's probably just giving him a handout--she's very generous that way--nothing wrong with giving a bum a handout."
"But what about the fact that she lied to me?"
"You're crazy--your Grandmother doesn't lie," he said.
