Grandparents do the oddest things

Granddad’s Pink Trousers by Lucie Hasova Truhelkova

July 29, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Granddad’s Pink Trousers is not for everyone. Lucie Hasova Truhelkova made a story that, when you learn the “punch line” you feel bad about judging the grandfather during the rest of the book, but at the same time, I felt the grandfather was judging and the rest of us were really douches for not being like him.
