ama Mae! You’re here!” exclaims LeeLee.

“How did you know? How’d you know that I needed you?”

Embracing her granddaughter, Mama Mae comforts LeeLee, “Grandmas always know, honeypot. We just do.”

“You’re the most magical one ever,” says LeeLee.

“Oh, no magic, honey,” explains Mama Mae. “Sometimes listening is simply the best medicine and Grandmas always hear the call.

I just want to be with my sweet girl.”

ooking at LeeLee’s journal, Mama Mae asks, “Well, what do we have here missy? ‘Scariest place in the world’?

Tell Mama Mae what’s bothering you, baby.”

Hesitating, LeeLee quietly says, “Everything...”

Mama Mae begins to flip through her own book, “Hmm... let me see... let me see what we have here?”

“Remember when I was little?” asks LeeLee. “I called this your special recipe book.”

“That’s right, LeeLee. Nothing like a good ol’ Mama Mae story for what ails you.”
