That way she'll eventually stop asking you to go".
"But grandfather, then why are we at the grocery store?" I replied. Upon reflection, I think that was the moment my Grandfather realized I was a lost cause to his way of life.
So GD, ya wanna swap recipes?

That was Eric's trick. He worked at a grocery store for nearly twelve years and I did all the shopping because if I asked him to, it was a guarantee that he'd bring home all the wrong stuff. He's better about it now, but I seldom ask him to stop at the store anymore.
