      I1)bumped up and down on the cloth and2)vinyl

      seat of the3)immaculate but ancient4)Chevy,5)pinned between two6)cousins.

      Grandpa7)clutched the wheel and8)pulled up outside a9)grocery. We followed him into the small grocery store, hoping to receive candy. We hadnt been too good that day, so the chances were slim; but you could always hope.

      Grandpa picked up several items and placed them on the counter. We stood behind,10)tiptoeing to see if candy was hidden among the goods. Grandpa turned and I flashed a smile11)guaranteed to buy at least a12)gum-drop. How could he13)resist my14)toothy15)grin? He grinned back,16)wise to my ways.

      The clerk added up the total and Grandpa did a17)sleight of hand. Somehow three pieces of candy18)miraculously appeared. The clerk19)frowned and added the extra items while we danced in delight.

      The girl called out the total. Grandpa told her it would be on credit. The clerk was new and obviously didnt know Grandpa, though he had been coming to this same country store for 20 years. She pulled out a slip of paper,20)chewing a fingernail idly as she pushed the paper in front of Grandpa.

      “Sign here,” she said.

      Grandpa took the21)stubby pencil and carefully marked an “X” on the22)dotted line.

      “Youre supposed to sign your name,” she said.

      My Grandpas full name was Carmie Menuard Morrison. I stared at the “X.” I started to remind him of his name when the clerk23)arched an eyebrow and said, “Cant you write?”

      Grandpa24)shuffled his feet. He was a tall man, thin with sandy blond hair and25)piercing blue eyes. I hadnt seen him shuffle before, especially in front of a nail-biting26)pimple-faced teenaged girl.

      “I cant read nor write,” he said. “Ive always signed with an ‘X.”

      I watched as a proud27)self-sufficient man?a man who put28)venison on the table29)in season. A man who built a small home and kept it neat. A man who lost two fingers cutting30)timber when he was younger. A man who looked a whole lot like Festus on31)Gunsmoke when he32)squinted his eyes and told us to “ye better git on outta here.” He was a33)mean hand with a34)broom, daring dirt to come into his house. He was a lot more than a simple “X” and I wanted to tell the clerk that, but Grandpa was still shuffling. I could see he wanted nothing more than to get out of there.

      I wasnt sure what happened, but somewhere deep inside of Grandpa had been35)pricked. I36)snuggled close to him and broke my37)Hersheys bar in half.

      “Want some?” I asked. He took it and bit into it. In spite of his smile, the sadness in his eyes said that chocolate wouldnt make the pain go away.
