Conner has been needling Grant and just bugging his little brother in general. Grant got some scrap paper and drew a picture for Conner. I am thinking Grant is getting tired of Conner’s antics. I am also thinking that if Grant invites Conner to the beach, Conner should decline the invitation.
Table manners. It’s what’s for breakfast.
