Pickles by Brian Crane for February 18, 2019

For that price, I’d want an everlasting gobstopper.

What makes them special? Could it be the pot?

That’s too high of a price.

Ah the price of a bribe…

Just ask Grand Pa Pickles, He’ll get you one without any conditions.

That’s a bizarre request for Opal to make. Nutzo!

So, Nelson, you just assuming that they are just special types of “chocolate” and nothing else?

Wow, Grandma! Hemmorids bothering you?

I’m with Nelson on this one. My MIL never let us forget that she helped us out with housekeeping chores, uninvited, unannounced, and unnecessary. We gave our house key to my husband’s parents very shortly after we got married. Wish we had waited a bit longer before we did – then they would not have gotten one. Sigh.

It’s not THAT special!

Valentine trivia: M&M’s were created in 1941 for the soldiers because it wouldn’t melt in their hands. That probably means that sofa M&M’s are safe. Well, not safe from lint but that’s not going to stop him.

Oh, gawd the eternal, never ending, “Remember when I. . .?” Friends who’ve pulled that suddenly became “acquaintances”. . .

do you mean the ones filled with bourbon?

stingy grandma

Grandma’s “special chocolates” are probably Ex-Lax

If they’re that special, they are only for special occasions, none of which have happened for years, so they are all stale now anyway.

Nelson, stale or not I’m with you on the M&Ms!

That’s exactly where I find mine. I learned that trick from gramps about 1943.

At least she’s honest about it.

Really Opal !!! Sounds like you are talking to Earl, not your grandson

Opal is a biddy.

Wise choice.
