Presenting Papouli and Yaya

I feel a little bad. We're only on my second day there, and I'm already up to 20 chapters. At this rate we could go on forever. But, I plow on.
So, once all the kids got back from the beach, I once again took over DC. And then the parents disappeared. This would happen a lot. All of a sudden the parents would just be gone. They wouldn't say anything to me. I never knew where they were going. I never knew when they would be back. It was always incredibly frustrating.
But this time, they left and in came two old Greek people. Now this is what I was expecting when I thought of Greek people. He was old and big with white hair and an animated face. She was round, and her face was always made-up. They looked exactly like the old people on My Big Fat Greek Wedding. And they would be a lot nicer to me than their children.
They came in and introduced themselves. Apparently, the Yaya spoke almost no English, but Papouli spoke English quite well. Once their, we all sat down at the table for lunch for pasta and tomato cucumber salad. I loved the grandparents. Here's how our typical interactions would go with me eating:
"You want salad?!"
"oh, I uh..."
"You want salad! Go get a plate for your sald!"
This would be repeated with any food. It was nice to know they at least cared if I was eating and always made me feel welcome and a part of the family. Unlike anyone else so far. So I ate a lot, but they both fussed over me saying I barely ate. It was nice, the type of Greek people you expect.
