Oof. This reminds me of a little tale.
My maternal grandmother never learned to read and write.
She was visiting and staying with us for a bit, and she liked having biscuits (the old school term, not buttermilk biscuits), cookies and crackers to snack on between meals.
We get back from grocery shopping one day, and realize we forgot a few things (including more biscuits for grandma), so mom tells me and my brother to just unload the car and put everything on the dining table, and hop back in the car to get the other stuff, and we'll put everything away when we get back.
We get back, put everything away, and later that evening, grandma asks if there were anymore of the
new biscuits, because she really liked them. She said they were kind of hard, but very tasty. My mom says, "Those biscuits that we got you?", and grandma replies, "No, the new, different kind".
So my mom asks me and my brother, "Did you guys get some different kind of snacks?". "Nope. Just those biscuits that grandma usually has". My mom says, "She says not those. Some new, different biscuits that were kind of hard, but tasty".
Then this looks dawns on my brother's face. "Uhhh... I think that's why the bag of dog food was open when we got home from the second trip. I was wondering who opened it, since dad wasn't home, yet".
We'd decided to try a new brand of dog food (that didn't have a picture of dogs on the bag), because it said, "Makes its own gravy. Just add water. Can be served wet or dry". We got a small bag to test, instead of the usual big bags (the stuff DID smell really savory and tasty).
My mom's eyes about popped. "You do not EVER tell your grandma that she ate dog food!".
She ended up telling her mom, "Sorry, those are all gone".
