Well, the grandmother has her priorities right, and I’m sure she knew exactly what she was doing when she told him that.
As you probably already know, some kids need to be favored at certain times in their lives, and others need to be favored later. Or earlier. The point being, they all need to be favored just because they are who they are. And the favoring is different for each child.
And it is very kind of her for offering to help Tom.
I meant “graduated from college a long time ago.”
Anyway, it was a kind thought ... and Tom will be proud to say he doesn’t need help!
