No. That would be the other one. She just got sick of him getting into the
sugar.

I don't care, what kind of grandma does that? Goes to the trouble to set a
trap for her grandson, and then takes you outside to watch him choking?
Great memories of dear old grandma are not her goal obviously.

Just a difference of opinion.

My grandmother would have just told us to stay the hell out of her
kitchen. Then again, it would never have occurred to any of us
grandchildren to eat a pile of white sugar. I'm pretty sure we would
have been able to tell the difference between sugar and flour, too. I
sincerely doubt this tall tale.

Honestly, my grandma wouldn't have cared, she used to make us kids those
little pie thingies all the time and not once did she ever want to watch us
"choke." I picture this lady as the grandma that would watch her grandson
choke, with other granchildren calling her to laugh about it. LOL

I can't view that video. Says it's restricted. Might have to do with
my ad blocker and other software.

I still can't imagine anyone purposefully wanting to trick a child to
eat flour and choke and cough just so they won't get into the sugar.
Just tell the child not to! I sound like an old fogey, but hey, when I
was a kid we learned respect and if Grandma (or Mom or Dad) said "Don't
do that" we didn't. <shrug>

There is no end to the dysfunction in Julie's family, or maybe there is
just no end to Julie's stories. File this one away and remind her about
it. She will probably deny having posted it.

He might have thought it was powdered sugar. I don't know. I knew the
difference even at that age. I think I was 3 or 4.

There are deep roots of dysfunction in the Bove clan.
