It is a very hot day. because of the uncomfortable heat, grayson is acting very irritable and short tempered. he doesn't believe that he is normally a rude person but rather thinks that the weather is making him act rudely. amelia sees grayson act in a rude way and assumes that he is just a rude person. why are there different attributions to grayson's behavior?
