My Grandfather The narrator used to think their grandfather was grumpy and low-tempered because he would get angry when the narrator accidentally misbehaved as a child during visits to their province. Over years of avoiding their grandfather out of fear of angering him, the narrator realized during a visit when they played finger games that their grandfather was not always angry. This changed the narrator's feelings and perspective, realizing they needed to let go of assumptions from the past in order to have a good relationship with their grandfather in the present and future.
