"I'm good."

My grandmother
refused to acknowledge
this idiom
she would harangue me
for its use
wholly rejecting
colloquial evolution
she would force me 
to the explicit "No."
as a child
already intimidated
by her distance presence
and afraid of offending
this was difficult
but
it was good training
good practice
in making the decision
and holding the line.
