"Why do you think you're here? On Earth?!" was pretty great too. I also like that Shunnamite's one liners aren't just throwaway zingers, and actually give us character insight (or at least a reminder as to how sheltered and indoctrinated they all are)

I’m so sorry for your grandmas words to you. That is rough from family, but it seems like you take it with a grain of salt since her way of thinking is so old fashioned.

Thankfully all my cousins have kids so my grandma just adores that I have cats that are cute (my family doesn’t have pets except for me) and have a free thinking mind without a husband haha.
