Meg: Pop! Mom and I are going to live at the farm, with Gene! Pop: Yes, sweetheart, I know! Mary Lou: She's a little kid, Pop, and she's excited! She doesn't grasp it all yet! Gus: It sounds to me as if she grasps it perfectly.
Gus is facing the empty nest. In the rush and excitement of getting married, young folks might not stop to think what it means to their parents. And even if they do, they can’t fully understand it till they’ve lived it. Every beginning is an ending. It looks like Mary Lou is considerate of how momentous this is to her father as well as to herself and Meg. I hope Gus isn’t feeling too down about the changes. ( We have relatives whose children and grandchild are living with them while they renovate their new house. Grampa says the kids are free to leave, but the grandbaby is staying with them!)
