Jen Morris' "The Other Grandparents"

I really enjoyed reading this essay. It was very silly and very serious at the same time. I found that it was easy to read and flowed very well. What I enjoyed the most about this essay were all of the details that she used from the ugly stirrup pants to the personalized denim jacket. Another thing that I enjoyed about the essay was the way she made me feel for her in the essay. She's getting all of this stuff from the "inlaws" and she has to donate most of it to goodwill. What I wanted to see more of from this essay was details about how she felt, what she smealt, heard and saw each time she had to go back to Goodwill. Did she get a reciept and deduct these donations from her taxes? I feel like this could really drive the essay home. Also it would be nice to know if she still has that personalized denim jacket or if it ended up in the goodwill pile as well...
