Whenever I make muffins of any kind,
I immediately think of my Grandma and
the time we made my Grandpa blueberry muffins.

My Grandpa and I were sitting at the
dinning room table eating our breakfast.
My Grandpa ate one blueberry muffin,
then another and another.

I said, "Wow Grandpa, you must really like
blueberry muffins, you ate three!"
My Grandpa said, "I do! But...
he leaned in closer so only I could hear,
"I thought they were a little chewy this time but
don't tell your Grandma....I don't
want to hurt her feelings"
I said, "Ok Grandpa, I won't tell her"

When my Grandma was done clearing the table
She came into the T.V. room...
a.k.a den...a.k.a great room...and said
"Thanks Lynn for helping me clean up."
I looked at her like she had asked me a question
I didn't know the answer too...and I said...
"Excuse Me?"
She said again,"Thanks for helping me"
I said, "With what?"
She said, "Throwing away the empty paper liners.."
a slight pause...
"from the blueberry muffins.."
I said, "What empty paper liners?"
Sounding annoyed she said,
"From the blueberry muffins!"
I said, " Grandma, I didn't throw away any empty paper liners"
"You didn't?"
I said, "No"
We looked at each other..
Then we both slowly looked at my Grandpa,
sitting in his brown Lazyboy, with his feet up...
I looked back at my Grandma and said,
"Grandpa did say your blueberry muffins were a little chewy this time Grandma"
We both started to laugh and
Grandma said,
"Grandpa, your not suppose to eat the paper!"
My Grandpa sat up and asked "What paper?"
"The paper liners on the bottom of the blueberry muffins" Grandma said.
"Oh well" Grandpa said..."They were still good, just a little chewy"
We all got a good laugh over that~
