I must admit that while in Colorado at my family reunion I had a Persephone and Demeter experience. On my way walking back to the lodge from our condo a truck pulled up next to me, it was Grandpa. He asked me to ride down to Grandjunction with him to get some files from his desk drawer, about an hour drive down. I was looking forward to cocoa with my cousins at the lodge, but I went anyways. I forgot however, to tell anyone I went with him. My mom was to follow after me up to the lodge and when she noticed I had never shown up she panicked and ran all down the mountain screaming my name and asking random people passing id they had seen me. My grandpa figured she would be worried and decided to get her back for a prank a few years past and called in the condo room about three hours later with a ransom. She freaked out and started crying on the phone, he felt bad and when we walked through the door while they were still on the phone together she threw it at him and nailed him right in the head....I laughed for about ten minutes, but the whole family exiled the both of us for the rest of the night.

So you are comparing your grandpa to Hades? I'm sure your mother would have agreed at that moment. :D
