| '''Thora Read''' is the mother of [[David Read]] and his siblings. She is the grandmother of [[Arthur Read|Arthur]], [[D.W. Read|D.W.]], [[Kate Read|Kate]], and their cousins.
| |
| ==Personality==
| |
| She is shown to be very kind and understanding, but is also a poor cook. She loves bingo and is best friends with [[Mrs. MacGrady]], lunchlady for [[Lakewood Elementary]]. She sometimes babysits her grandkids such as on New Year's Eve, when she allowed D.W. to stay up until midnight not knowing that D.W.'s parents already told her that she couldn't. She's also very good at playing marbles and gives Arthur some lessons on how to play the game well. In ''[[Family Fortune]]'', she goes to an antique show with two of her grandchildren.
| |
|
| |
|
| She has a prized doll named [[Clarissa]] (shown in ''[[Clarissa is Cracked]]''). In the same episode, it is revealed that she has three older brothers. She also takes in a stray dog named ''[[Killer]]'' that was found on her porch. It is unknown what happened to her spouse. It has never been mentioned about her husband or if she ever had one.
