Answer: Sweet, but eccentric

She is a kind woman with some interesting "quirks" that continue to annoy Birdee after she has moved back home.

This is a funny scene where Birdee tells him, "You stuck your tongue in my mouth! I didn't know you were supposed to do that. I thought you were an epileptic or something!"
