Arnold’s relationship with his grandmother (Spencer)

Arnold has a questioning relationship with his grandmother. When Arnold's parents are not home he turns to his grandmother for advice. When he has questions about Roger seeking revenge, Arnold explained what he did, and his grandmother replies, "Then you should have kicked him in the balls (Alexie, 68)." Arnold's grandmother gave him a straight answer that Arnold wasn't expecting. She is very confident in speaking that abruptly to Arnold. Later in the conversation Arnold's grandmother still gave Arnold abrupt answers. In the end Arnold's grandmother has a great relationship with Arnold, but Arnold might not have the same respect for his grandfather.
