There's this boy named Sam, who's staying with his grandfather. Sam nervously asks if he's fat to which the grandfather replies, "You're solid, Sam!" and the narration notes that he didn't really think that response through.
Also, at one point, the grandfather says, "Oh hell, I don't want to lecture you", which shocked eight-year-old me, since for a kids' book, that's a Precision F-Strike.
The visit ends with the grandfather offering a peppermint to Sam and the narration notes that "Sam took three, thought about fatness, and put one back".
