Grandma's Hands

i can't say i have ever experienced what bill withers has with his grandmother, if i have it was when i was so young i couldn't remember.

i do remember my great-grandmother, she would bitch at my father that my sister and i barely spoke chinese. my grandmother would care for me when i haven't started school yet and protect me from my schizophrenic uncle. then for my grandfather, he was cute, but anything i would do that was remotely dangerous, he would tell me in chinese, "watch you die!"
