Elwood considered himself a good father, but this experience was new to him. As Elfie's grandfather, he wasn't necessarily the one in charge -- and he certainly didn't want to undermine Eljay's parenting. But Eljay's pleading didn't seem to be having the desired effect on Elfie, as the boy continued to refuse to come down and even resorted to insinuating that his dad was a coward. Elwood winced inwardly at the insult.
