Although her mother was very disturbed.

Did not mean to be churlish
Knowing not what bad thing she had occurred.

Thinking back to his own youth

Really, Frida! What did I tell you about being polite when greeting your new betrothed if you want to get this nicey frilly white dress you were promised?

This was an opportunity for Hans to be the “cool grandfather” by showing off his tap dancing skills with his wooden shoes.

/// Little Dagmar looked up at him, wary
to go into Grandfather’s house, where he
invites chickens inside
just before they get fried.
He looks hungry, and she finds that scary.

It was funny at first, but now little Maddy felt it was a true medical condition. Every visit with grandpa began and ended with “Pull my finger.”

The tiny grandchild was astonished
And said something her mom admonished:
When first meeting old Grandpa Boze
She took one look at his nose
And said, “It’s so big and it glows. Is it polished?
.
The grandfather wasn’t perturbed,
Although her mother was very disturbed.
But the young child was but girlish
Did not mean to be churlish
Knowing not what bad thing she had occurred.
.
But Grandpa hugged her for her blurted truth,
Thinking back to his own youth
And said, “You’re right, and feel no shame —
I told my grandpa just the same.

Wooden shoes are hard to draw in perspective. (I always hammer mine flat before trying to draw them.)
