If you've ever read Richard Peck's humorous novel A Year Down Yonder, you will immediately recognize the name Grandma Dowdel. Grandma Dowdel is the kind of (grand)motherly figure I picture myself to be: qualified for the job, but only technically. Read the novel (don't worry, it's short), and check out Peck's other fantastic novel The Teacher's Funeral (unrelated to mothers, but still funny).
