Grandma's Secret Tip
Grandma's Secret Tip
To keep the peace, Grandma poured some popcorn mix into several plastic tubs with airtight lids. She wrote our names on them so everyone knew whose snacks were whose. We learned to savor our share because there was no pleading ignorance if you gobbled yours down and were caught sneaking someone else's snacks.
