As we sat down to dinner, my grandmother brings out a carton of juice and begins pouring into the classes of those at the table who aren’t drinking wine—everyone but me and my dad. As she fills their glasses, she turns to me says: “This is our kind of wine.”

It’s a shame that ‘MOGness Robot Fighter’ isn’t on the cards.
