I came to the table, pulled up a chair, and sat. “Everyone brought a pet. I feel left out.” An enthusiastic howl broke the silence, and Grendel bounded through the doorway. He galloped through the steak house, skidded on the floor, smashed into my chair, and dropped a dead rat on my lap. Awesome.Ilona Andrews
About This Quote
The phrase, “I came to the table, pulled up a chair, and sat” was the inspiration behind this book. The story is about a four-year-old boy named Grendel who wants to be part of a family dinner. When he’s not invited to dinner he becomes upset and begins to make a ruckus. His actions make everyone at the table uncomfortable and his mother sends him from the dinner table. But later on he comes back and apologizes for his behavior after seeing what a big mistake it was to not be invited.
