eggs
I went to my grandparents' farm after school every day. I was a very fussy eater and my snack was always the same --- toasted homemade bread and chocolate milk. It was usually Grammie who made it for me, but if she was on the road, Grampie would be in from the barn to take care of me. One afternoon the milk tasted funny, and I asked if it had come "straight from the cows". I don't remember Grampie saying anything.

When I was in college, I found out what really happened. Grampie and Grammie were concerned I wasn't getting enough nutrition so they would sneak an egg into my chocolate milk! Grampie had forgotten to mix in the Quik that day, and he was almost caught! I had no idea all those years.
Recently, I was looking through my albums and found this photo. It was taken years later by me, but it seems to capture the day he was almost caught!
