Apple of His Eye?
Robert's kids have long contended that though Robert loves all of his kids, and though they are ALL the apples of his eye, some of those apples are bigger and shinier than others. Here, daughter Carol, who believes she is the biggest, shiniest apple, appears quite confident in her assessment of her family "apple" ranking. Robert and Carol have always loved just hanging out together, going to coffee shops, on drives and out to eat. One cold, rainy day, while Carol was out, a stranger came to the door asking for a blanket. Robert went to the hall closet and pulled out a sleeping bag for the guy. No brainer. When Carol returned he merely said, "You know that new sleeping bag you got? I gave it to a homeless guy today." No apologies, no promises of replacing it, just matter of fact. Sometimes his generous spirit was a little questionable.
