It was sunny today. After dusk, Mom took MeeMaw and me out for a nice stroll around the neighborhood. Last night, I bought Dad a T-shirt as his birthday present. But, alas! It said “Good grief, Charlie Brown!” on the front. The word “grief” really triggered Dad’s nerves. He couldn’t stand the word, even though we all know the phrase doesn’t literally mean anything about grief. It’s all about MeeMaw’s situation, right? However, just for the sake of his mental health, I tossed that T-shirt out right away and bought him a new Mickey Mouse one. He’ll definitely accept this one. But anyway, I can’t blame him. I should have thought more deeply before making the purchase. After all, now Dad is the most sensitive one at home.

But unfortunately the words “Good grief, Charlie Brown!” were printed on the front and the word “grief” really triggered Dad’s nerves. He can't stand the word, even though everyone knows that the phrase doesn’t literally mean anything about grief. It’s all about MeeMaw’s situation, right? However, for the sake of his mental health, I threw out/ tossed/ disposed of the T-shirt right away and bought him a new Mickey Mouse one. He’ll definitely be happier with this one. But anyway, I can’t blame him. I should have thought more deeply before making the purchase, because Dad is the most sensitive person in our house.
