In this hilarious and exasperating installment of the Grandparent’s Journal, I embark on what I foolishly believed would be a heartwarming, family-bonding breakfast. Fueled by the idea of being Grandmother of the Year, I woke up early, whipped up a homemade feast of fluffy pancakes, crispy bacon, and Vermont’s finest maple syrup—all in preparation for my sleepy grandchildren to wake up and bask in the glory of my culinary masterpiece.
What I got instead? Rejection. Chaos. And the ultimate betrayal.
The first child? Juice. The second? Leftover fish from the night before. The third? Toast. And when one finally agreed to eat pancakes? She accused my maple syrup of tasting like branches.
With my soul crushed and my patience hanging by a thread, I came to a profound realization: I had lost the battle. Tomorrow’s breakfast? Cereal.
Join me as I navigate the daily adventures, absurdities, and very questionable food choices of grandparenthood in this laugh-out-loud, painfully relatable journal entry.
