Are you trying to kill your grandparents?’” By his stern tone, I can’t tell if he’s joking. “Okay, but for real.” His answering stare confirms he is not joking. “You know you can’t say that to her.” “Why not? It’s true. She needs to stop running away and she is going to kill them with worry if she keeps this up. You should have heard Howard on the phone. She’s being a selfish brat.”
