We Tricked Grandma

    Last night I did a bad thing. I lied to my grandma. So did my mom… and Diana didn’t really get the hint. Poor grandma is legally blind and really cannot see much of anything. She also is very reluctant to try new foods. Like fish. She likes salmon though. So when we gave her a beautiful piece of seared tuna last night, we told her it was salmon. She went on all dinner about how delicious the seasoning of the salmon was, unlike any salmon she ever tasted. It was only when she was completely finished her dinner and assured us it was the best piece of salmon she ever ate that we confessed to her that she was really eating ahi tuna. She took it with good spirits and we all laughed about it. Maybe you had to be there but if you know my grandma then you would understand why it was so funny.
