My grandma is a freaking weirdo

She bought some cookies at the dollar store for part of my daughter's Christmas present. The kicker is that she instructed me not to give them to her for three years, when they'll have expired mind you. I'm not really sure why. What the fuck am I suppose to do with these cookies for the next three years? I'm contemplating opening them and eating them now.

 

obviously, you eat them now, then in 3 years tell grandma you fed the cookies to your daughter and she died of, i don't know, e-coli or something.

 

She prolly herd about the third world country sale of food products in dollar stores. Not USDA etc "approved". Or could have somthing else in them.

Toss um and bake a fresh batch for her.

 

"Here's a bottle of milk, but don't even think about drinking it until it separates."

 

Sounds more like an approach of projecting optimism. Some elderly people don't even bother buying green bananas, let alone cookies that are supposed to last three years.

 

LOL - I've said this before, and will again. I've been around seriously old people ALL my life.

The older, the stranger they are. At least in my family, and everybody else in real life I know, that's the way it is.

Now I'm getting there. uh oh...unlike all those that have gone before me, at least I realize I may get weird. lol

 

If my mother were to actually the expiration date on ANYTHING before she bought it, I might have a heart attack.

 

"MAY" You Say....??



Cheers Glen.

 

ha - That is as far as I'm willing to go.

 

Maybe that's it, although she has terminal cancer.
I'm doing a bit of assuming, but she probably misheard somebody, and she probably thinks this is some kind of great tradition.

I opened the cookies. They were disgusting and already stale. Sorry grandma, but those things are most def not hanging around for three more years.

 

My parents have a pizza making kit in their pantry that expired about 25 years ago. They actually packed it up and moved this thing to a new house 18 years ago. My brother won't let them throw it out because he thinks it is hilarious.

 

Also, I can relate to the clueless grandparent thing, my inlaws bought my son a birthday gift when he was 2 that had all kinds of small parts and said right on it "for ages 6 and up". So it had to be put away for years. good gift.

 

Sorry Meagain I Don't Agree, Since The Beginning Of Time Each Next

Generation Has Been Described As Weirder Than The Last....

I Don't Have Kids Myself, But Being An Astute Observer Of The Human

Race, My Opinion Of The Current Generation Is, That They Are Doing

Just Fine....

And Just For The Record, I Am Way Older, And Therefore Way Wiser

Than You...



Cheers Glen.

 

I've known a few people with cancer with a about a month or two to live who had strongly assertive personalities. They managed to talk their caregivers at the hospice to transfer them to another living center that had a physical rehab program. They went into rehab for a few weeks but ultimately had to return to the hospice where they died . The insurance will usually only pay for rehab if the person is making progress with their physical abilities, which is difficult when one is terminally ill. When the progress stops, it's back to the hospice.

The urge to go into rehab is a manifestation of a terminally-ill person's wanting to live long-term. Rehab is at the opposite end of the spectrum of hospice care. It seems a little off-the-wall, but that's how people sometimes deal with impending death.

 

I can think of a few things 1) granny may have Alzheimers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alzheimers 2) she may think you have mice or roaches and really want the mice or roaches to get the cookies . You need to be care full getting food items at the dollar /.99 cents stores . I have got rancid /spoiled /ineadiable food there , but with a rec. they will take it back . Buy the kid some good cookies and say there from granny , then again in 3 years . desert rat

seriously, does ANYONE not already know what alzheimer's is?

 

I forgot.

 

Haha, that is great! I love old people. My grandparents aren't weird though. My pap is extremely racist, which is kinda funny at times.
