   "Um, ah, hi, my name is Robert Joseph and I’m the dead lady’s grandson. My mum asked me to talk about Nana Bishop, but I’m not sure what to say. Nana made me nervous, so I avoided her a lot. She didn’t really know how to play boy games. She liked dolls. When she and Dodie did girl stuff, I played with her denture cleaning tablets which are really cool because they make all this blue foam and if you use a whole bunch of them you can pop a lid of a soda bottle. Nana thought it was funny when I ate one, but it wasn’t, it tasted nasty. Nana used to tell me that I should try new things, like when she took me to the nutcracker ballet. I don’t know what she was getting at, it was just a bunch of people jumping around with no words or pants or anything… though the bed with the giant rats was pretty cool. She used to make me eat rum raisin ice-cream too, but she’d let Dodie have chocolate. Nana said that every man in the Bishop family has to learn to like rum raisin, even though raisins are gross, guess it’s like some kind of family tradition, like Dodie’s pigtails. I guess that stuff doesn’t seem so dumb now, maybe Nana was just trying to share junk with Dodie and me, so that we would remember her better after she went into that great big bingo hall in the sky. I know I’ll never look at blue foam or a raisin and not remember how Nana used to laugh at me and pinch my cheek really hard."
