Grand-ma’s Grand-conspiracy!!

Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, hiding in plain sight for all to see; Grandma carefully set the table and laid down the tracks straight to the pit of our stomachs. She was always so neat and always so proper; only with a smirk, a smile, and nary a whisper of sweat on her brow; or a single hair out of place. She was just perfect and she loved us so; she always wanted to please us with her treats and it seemed to come with such ease for Grandma; so tasty, so enjoyable, and so, so memorable. She cooked and she cleaned, she flavored, she sweetened, and she spiced until the day was done, the sun went down, our plates were clean, and her house was pristine.

Grandma was our model and she did everything that she could to make our lives more enjoyable, more tasty, more sweet, and more memorable. She did it so very well and we loved her for it, but then something happened; we grew older, she became more feeble, and then we had to learn to go it alone. Now, today, Grandma has been replaced by Big Business, Big Food, Big Dessert, and Big Helpings; and all of the sudden we are not so comforted anymore, we are not so satisfied, and we are not the least bit grateful. Now, we look at ourselves in that silver lined piece of glass hanging on our bedroom wall and say “What Happened??” We are mad, we are dissatisfied, and we don’t like the image staring back at us anymore from the bedroom wall. We think, Maybe we can Sue Somebody, somebody has to pay the price!! “Who did this to me; who changed my life, who altered my appearance, who made me so lazy, fat, inactive, and ungrateful??” Was it Grandma, or was it me?? “I AM DEFINITELY GOING TO SUE!!” “Sue, where are YOU??”

This has been a word from the old-Bird.
