“We’ve eaten together many times and you know I love ketchup when I have a cheeseburger and fries. Isn’t that true?” Morgan responded, “Yes, it’s true.” His grandfather said, “If you want to be successful in life, you will need to learn to pass the ketchup before people ask for it.” Morgan nodded but did not fully understand the power of his grandfather’s words.

I don't know if I'm allowed to write on this thread because I don't even LIKE ketchup...
I agree with those of you who think that Grandpa did a passive/aggressive set-up with great success. "if you don't play my game and read my mind and do exactly what I wanted but refuse to say, you are bad and you should be guilty and pay for it one way or another"...
Didn't I used to hear just about that from my now XAH?
