## Resource

In this episode Neil Peterson shares the unexpected consequences of letting his young granddaughters, express their artistic talents by painting his toenails bright red and purple. What begins as a joyful moment of grandparenting turns into a humorous struggle between cherished memories and an 82-year-old grandfather’s desire to reclaim his usual image. With warmth, self-deprecating humor, and affection, Neil reflects on the small acts of love that leave lasting impressions—and, sometimes, surprisingly stubborn evidence.
