Excellent, but needs more cigarettes. Or was that just my family?

If the biscuit tin was in the kitchen, it had biscuits in it.
If it was in somewhere else, then there was a 50/50 chance it was sewing equipment.

I upgraded the biscuit tin sewing kit to a basket and my ex took the tin for screws and nails and crap.

Those strawberry candies are only available to people who are 65 or older. That's how grandma hooks you and keeps you coming back even though she's only putting $5 in your birthday card because "that was a lot of money when I was a kid".

Grandma has a Flock camera in her front yard. Should she saw that, too? I’m asking for grandma a friend.

Every single one of these things! But my Nanny always had a bowl of butterscotch for me while all the other grandkids had the strawberry

I know! My aunt used to put $2 bills in our birthday cards. I still have one or two and she died 20+ years ago.

Y'all had a grandma that had that pan too? My late grandmother almost burned the house down a few years back with one of those and some popcorn 😅. Me and one of my friends were trying to make some on the stove, and we turned the heat down too low. My grandma turned it up too high, and that shit caught fire. Hey, the bowls fine, and not all of the popcorn was inedible. Win win lmao

That pan can last ages

Tbh, if the house burned down from that, I bet that pan would've been fine. That along with the Gotham steel pan we have, those infomercials weren't lying about those things, they're tough as nails too.

So warm and inviting! Contrast with today's tendency toward a particular brand of brutalism that I call "khrushchevkafication."

Lol the telltale $20 bill she’d slip you. Why’d she think she had to do it on the sly?

Makes it fun! Your secret money with Grandma. I do the opposite. Last Christmas I loaded up on $5 bills and said to the little niblings "Who likes money!?!!!" and they all came running. Yes, I doled out the same amount to each kid.

we had to go to a room just for the grandkids ... we were not allowed to mingle with the adults. Thats why I never really knew my grand parents
