Who was interested in who first: Grandpa
Grandpa asked Grandma out at the swimming pool they both worked at. Grandpa thought he'd be super smart. He found out Grandma's first name (Jean) and then went to the time cards to find out her last name. He found a Jean Baker and started teasing grandma saying, "I know your last name!" She said, Oh yeah, what is it? And he said Baker!
Of course he was wrong, Jean's last name was Bahr (her true first name is Marva).
Grandpa made lots of jokes about Jeans after that!
Who is most sensitive: Grandpa
Grandpa is very aware of Grandma's needs and always super sensitive to what she might want or need.
Grandma is more sensitive to everyone else: She is always worrying about everyone else and afraid she might have hurt their feelings. She is very perceptive to others and always interested in what's going on in their lives.
Who has the worst temper? Grandma
Gordon used to really push Grandma's buttons. She would stand up on a stool to smack him.
One time Grandpa needed some copies made and grandma stayed late after work to make the copies. She had all kinds of problems with the copier and was really frustrated by the time she complied the project. And late. When she got home Grandpa complained that she was late and she took all the copies and scattered them everywhere because she was so frustrated and upset!
