Who’d a thunk it, Mabel why does grim say that to gram on page 46

I think it's because he (grim) was said that to grim because of what she said was so obvious and since gram's name isn't mabel he said that to just let her know how obvious what she said was. (I'm sorry if this is wrong I read the book last year  would've been able to help you more if I was back in 6th grade reading the book)

the anwser is went creeping down the river again, across the wide lonely marshes to the sea.

i longed to go with them out into the world to seek my fortune in foreign lands—africa, india, china and peru!

and, dreaming of the lands i had never seen, i'd sit on there, watching till they were out of sight.

each morning i wrote my name

on the dusty cabinet, then crossed

the dining table in script, scrawled

in capitals on the backs of chairs,

practicing signatures like scales

while mother followed squirting

linseed from a burping can
