I loved my grandpa. He was a tough guy, a body builder type in his youth. He trained soldiers to fight in WWII. He passed away when I was in 3rd grade.
For as tough as he was, he was a pretty good grandpa. He kept a comb - a 6" black one - in his pocket, and when I'd wake up from naps - my head all sweaty - he'd comb my hair into place.
We also would read the comics together. And he let me sit in the front seat of the car and change the radio stations.
When I picked my nose he'd say "Bryner, whatcha doin? Pickin' a winner?"
He hated strawberries because he didn't like the seeds getting into his teeth. So I told him I'd invent a machine that picked the seeds out of strawberries.....oops.....never really got on that one.
He even shared his food with me!

weird, my grandpa always has one of those small combs too. maybe it's a generational thing.
