Just a wholesome post about my late grandpa. My grandpa had a lot and I mean a lot of health complications including being prediabetic. He had an enormous sweet tooth which my grandma had the absolute patience to deal with. Whenever he was able to visit, I live in a town with high pollution so they couldn’t visit often, we would have to hide our dessert.

Enter the afternoon of the story. We were having a dinner with my immediate family plus grandma and grandpa and had moved on to dessert. We were probably having some kind of cake and had the ice cream out. My mom, his daughter, was scooping the ice cream. When it came to his turn, he said “Five scoops of ice cream please.” My mom had a stroke of genius idea. Opening the drawer, she grabbed one of those tiny scoops you would use for making cookies and scooped out five scoops. “here you go!”

“(mom’s name), That’s not what I meant!”

My mom giggling, “What? You have five scoops of ice cream!”

He grumbled, sucked it up, and went to the table (all playful). It’s still my favorite story from him that I remember and I thought it was perfect for this subreddit.
