Quote #10
Last time we visited him, we took him some snapper soup in a Thermos jug. It's one of his all-time favorite things to eat. My mother fed it to him. When he tasted the first spoonful, his eyes lit up—he was Scooter—and he went, "A-bye, a-bye!" (38.26)
Now that Scooter can't talk, Crash has to look for new ways to communicate with his grandfather. Food is something they have always bonded over. And while his grandfather's only word in response is still "a-bye," the way he says it indicates just how pleased he is.
