Grandma Thora Appreciation Day/Transcript

Arthur Read: Last night, D.W. and I slept over at Grandma Thora's and learned some terrible things.

Grandma: After supper, how about if we play Parchesi?

D.W.: Thank you, Grandma, but we'd prefer to watch TV.

Grandma: Well, you know I don't have cable, but I do get public television clear as a bell!

(kids groan)

Arthur: Then it got worse!

Grandma: I'm afraid I don't have many goodies. My doctor's getting very strict with me. Here we are! No salt low-fat potato chips.

Arthur: And if that wasn't bad enough....

D.W.: (screams)

Arthur: What? What?

D.W.: It's teeth! Grandma's teeth! Blech.

Arthur: We didn't get much sleep that night.

Grandma: It's been so nice having you here. I get lonely without you sometimes.

Arthur: Grandma Thora must be the saddest person in the world. No cable, no taste of potato chips, and she has to keep her teeth in a glass.

D.W.: And she gets so lonely without me. Arthur, we have to do something.
