Spending a couple of days at my Grandma’s house brought home quite a few lesson.
Lessons like:
1. Jello used to require recipe books.
2. If you’re ever putting away your fifth set of dishes, you might want to reconsider your place setting requirements.
3. Finding VHS tapes of my childhood is both sweet and incredibly frustrating.
4. There must have, at some point in time, been a run on suitcase locks. Or my Grandma, who didn’t fly until her 60s and only ever then for her yearly visit, had no valid explanation for the thirty locks and keys she owned.
5. If you have a clock that chimes every 15 minutes and a clock that chimes every hour, you should make those two clocks tell the same time.
6. Some clocks can be stopped from chiming by removing their battery.
7. Just because an appliance is adorable and old doesn’t mean it works well.
8. It does, however, mean I’ll want to own it. (I’m looking at you, Waring blender.)
9. And then my mom will talk me out of bringing home the standing Edison fan.
10. And I will be sad. And self-regulated breeze-less.
If only my new place
Came with a standing fan closet
I could have won that argument
Regrets,
Megan
