Grandpa has terrible table manners and constantly breaks dishes!
Your father is making me miserable. He doesn't remember anything! He's breaking all my dishes and making dinnertime horrible. DO SOMETHING or else!
Grandpa often does not remember his family. He feels very depressed.
Why am I here? Who are these people and why are they treating me so badly. Where is my family? I want to leave!!
Okay, we will sit Grandpa at a table by himself during dinner so you don't have to watch him eat and make a mess of his food! I will give him a wood bowl to eat from so he won't break anymore dishes.
So Grandpa sits alone at a table in the corner while his family eats from the dinner table w/o him. He feels like an outcast and knows something is wrong. No one speaks to him.
Michael observes Grandpa all by himself. He watches his parents too. He takes it all in!
The Critelli's drive to the ocean. Grandpa goes too.
Michael and his Dad play all day at the ocean while Cathy watches Grandpa. Grandpa sees his son and he has a moment where he remembers. A tear rolls down his face. He is like a prisoner in his mind.
