Would Grandmother scold him? Would she say, "Frank! Thank the gods, you've come. I'm surrounded by monsters."More likely she'd scold him, or mistake them for intruders and chase them off with a frying pan.
In this excerpt from "The Son of Neptune" by Rick Riordan, the character reflects on the unpredictable reaction he might receive from his grandmother upon his arrival. Rather than receiving a warm welcome, there’s a tone of uncertainty and humor as he imagines her possibly scolding him instead of being relieved. The mention of her mistaking the situation for danger suggests a playful exaggeration of family dynamics.
The scenario sets a light-hearted yet tense atmosphere, where the grandmother's reactions might come off as exaggerated and comic. The notion of her using a frying pan to chase off perceived threats implies a protective, if not somewhat quirky, approach to dealing with unwelcome situations, reinforcing the theme of familial relationships amidst chaos.
