Strange Findings

So, I thought I would just share some of the small, strange things I find and deal with on a daily basis.  I just need to get some off my chest.  These things grandma does are not a big deal, just strange.  For example, my grandmother has become obsessed with sweets.  The fridge is filled with food and there are all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables at her fingertips, but she will pick the cookies or brownies every time.  This is something I have heard other older people doing, but I have never experienced it first-hand.  Friday I made a big pan of brownies, the family size.  I had one brownie and the boys had a brownie and my grandmother ate the rest of the pan in just two days.  I don't know how she did it, but she did.  So, by Sunday the brownies were gone and on Monday my aunt brings by a loaf of banana bread she just made.  Again, I had a piece and the boys had a piece of the bread.  Then, a few hours later the loaf is half gone.  I even catch her having a piece of banana nut bread with her meatloaf for dinner.  Gross!  Later that night I decide I would like a little something sweet and I go look for the banana bread and I can't find it anywhere.  I check the cabinets, the fridge and then the freezer.  There it is...why?  It is also wrapped heavily with saran wrap.  I look over and notice she has unwrapped the taco shells I had wrapped the night before and wrapped the bread in that and left the taco shells sitting on the counter.  That is just a weird thing to do. 

Every night I wash the dishes and leave them out to dry.  And every morning she tells me she was going to put them away but didn't know where they went.  She always puts them away anyway in random places.  So, for the rest of the day I will open a cabinet and stop to rearrange its contents.  The boys' spoons, for example, are things she has no idea what to do with.  She tells me, "now I don't know where you want these, so I've just been putting them here."  Unfortunately, the "here" she refers to is different every time she says it.  I find these things everywhere, all over the kitchen, in every drawer and cabinet. 

Yesterday I was going to a friend's house but had to get the recycle to the curb before I left.  I was running back and forth, in and out, carrying out our recycleables.  I run to the curb and drop off some newspaper and by the time I make it back to the porch she had locked the screen and locked me out.  I knock and she is no where to be found.  Apparently she was in the back of the house and couldn't hear me knocking...for five minutes.  Needless to say, I was late to meet my friend. 

So, there are a few examples of my strange findings.
