Always check the freezer

Granddad doesn’t eat a lot, but sometimes he likes to grab snacks for himself. Jack had put a bag of tortilla scoops in the pantry. I had a few with some salsa earlier that day and stuck them back in the pantry. The next day my father-in-law made a joke about us finishing off the bag of chips, which neither of us would admit to doing since neither of us had actually done it. We figured granddad finished them off since he was the last one we saw with the bag.

A few days later, granddad hobbled into the kitchen, went directly for the freezer, moved a few things out of the way and pulled out the bag of chips.

We died laughing. He had hidden them, but we couldn’t figure out why the freezer had become his “secret spot”.

Now any time something goes missing, we head to the freezer.
