Most of the time Olive is just as sweet and empty as a grassy lawn with no trees.
Once in a while she channels Henry, who uses the word “douchebag” and ruthlessly shreds anything people call darling.
And while I rarely catch Henry being charming, I sometimes see Olive being grouchy, and those are the moments when Henry feels a secret pride, although he can never admit this.
Of course, this is all my own interpretation; it may be that Olive thought the weights looked like little funny pillows, and when she went over to investigate she started to mentally drift off.
Come to think of it, I bet I’m right.
But don’t tell Henry.
