When Jay and Grandpa Tony interact, they are hesitant with each other, as seen when Grandpa Tony is understanding about Jay's name and Jay takes over going on the step ladder to tape.
A Cup of Tea
by Katherine Mansfield
"No more complaining, Jay," Mom said. "Your grandfather needs your help, and you have the time. Walk over there now and help him paint his dining room."
Though not happy about painting inside on a summer day, Jay listened and walked the few blocks to Grandpa Tony's neat bungalow on Cass Street.
Jay arrived to find Grandpa Tony had already lined up the paint supplies in the dining room where the floors and furniture were covered with plastic tarps.
"Good morning, Jan-oops, that's right, you go by 'Jay' now,"
Grandpa Tony said. "Thanks for helping out. We can start by taping the edges near the ceiling and baseboards."
Grandpa Tony started to get up on the step ladder, but Jay-not wanting to tell Grandpa Tony what to do but not wanting him to fall and break a bone-said: "I'II do that, Grandpa."
"Oh, all right."
