5. When You’re Scouring Your Grandma’s House for Candy
Candy is the most valuable treasure known to man; we have all gone treasure hunting at our grandparents’ house. That is, at least, how we felt as little children. Grandma always seemed to have an endless supply of the good stuff; the taste of sweet, sweet sweets was nothing more important. Having saying that, locating the supply source proved simpler said than done. There were many ways to get lost; many tall cabinets; many decoy cookie tins with truly random contents. The excitement of the hunt was half the fun; every locked door promised discovery and every corner turned may reveal a secret treasure of goods. Still, we won at last. The delight of at last discovering a secret stockpile of sweets was unparalleled, a pure ecstasy that made all the searching valuable. Laughing, thrill, and the sweet taste of success abound in those early memories of sorting through grandma’s house. They remind us of the small pleasures in life and the unique relationship we have with our grandparents, who always seem to have just the right delicacies to somewhat brighten our days.
