This granny mannequin (grannyquin?) comes from the same mold as the boy scout mannequin I mentioned earlier. She, like that boy scout, is not as she seems. She puts you at ease by implying that she is frail (sitting in a rocking chair) and wearing the most American pie, Laura-Ashley number she could dig up from the steam trunk in the attic. But take a closer look. Is she as old as she wants you to think? Nary a line or a wrinkle on that face. And check out those wheels beneath the rocking chair.
"My, oh my, Grandma. What nice wheels you got there."
"All the better to chase you down the street with, dearie!"
