"Lorelei, Emily asked, "Why did you take Rory away when she was two"
Lorelei rolled her eyes.

"Please tell me you didn't just as that question"

"Yes I did. I would like to know the reason why you took my grandchild away"

"Clearly your memory bank is broke," Lorelei said, "Or you would know the answer to that. You hurt my baby"

"I didn't 'hurt' her," Emily said

"She was hysterical," Lorelei remarked, "and then instead of apologizing you acted like you had every right to do what you did"

"She was acting childish," Emily said, "and she did bite a boy"

"She was not acting childish. She was a child. You had no right to get physical with my child. You don't hurt a mother's child and expect there not to be consequences."

"Really. And what would you have done young lady"

"I would have asked her why she bit that little boy and then I would have gone over with her what she could have done instead"

"Well in my day that wasn't how it was done," Emily replied

"It wasn't 'your day' and it wasn't your child. Rory is my child and what I do is my choice. She was a child and she acted like a child. I love you mom but I love my daughter more."

"It didn't seem to effect her much!"

"Now. She used to have nightmares about it. She actually asked me why 'gamma' stopped loving her"

"I never stopped loving her"

"You were expecting her to have the mental capacity of an 8 year old or better," Lorelei said, "and she was a child. She was two. She wasn't even two. She was a week away from two"

"You were incredibly well behaved at that age"

"Yes and so was Rory. She was polite and well mannered and kind and thoughtful and considerate and always remembered please and thank you-"

"And then she bit a kid. How many times have I told you to discipline her"

"I did. I do. It's called talking"

"In my days it was called a few swats to the seat"

"Look," Lorelei said, "I did what you told me to do"

"You did?"

"Yes. I stopped acting like a child and started acting as if I had one by taking her out of a toxic environment."
Just then Rory got back

"Hi mom. Hi grandma. How was your day"

"Nice sweetheart," Lorelei said, "Grandma has to go now"

"Oh okay," Rory replied, "See you later"
