Grandad Has Never Done This, And It's Shocking! (Seriously, Get Your Heart Attack Medication, For I Can't Believe It Myself!) · 6:05am Mar 27th, 2018
Do you want to know what I learned a few weeks ago?
I asked my grandma about if grandad has ever actually eaten or had the chance to try a pancake, and she said no.
It's official - grandad, at the age of 85, has yet to rid himself of his pancake virginity. One day, I plan to make him some to try. A life without pancakes isn't worth living.
(I actually made some yesterday for my grandmother, and asked grandad if he wants to try one, but he declined. Stubborn as he is, I'm sure I'll convert him.)

85 years without ever having a pancake!?! BLASPHAMY! Someone give that man a blueberry pancake stat!
Eh, I think this is understandable. Some foods just don't catch your interest.

Well, grandad is diabetic and his family and grandma's were poor growing up and stuff because of how life was back in the 40's and 50's. Fifty years ago, the year was 1968, and that's how long my grandparents have lived where they are now. They didn't really have much because of the family grandma had to raise single-handedly, on account of grandad being gone just about all the time. If my dad and other family growing up in that house were lucky, they might see him at least once a year, if very briefly.
I guess neither of them had enough to afford the good things in life, even if my grandma was a cook at one point in her life. The story of how she met grandad took place at her job when he came in, and it's a good one! Comedy central!
Trust me, I know grandad likes the sweet stuff, even if he has limits, but I can't believe he has never had the chance to try a pancake! It's one of the most basic things you could ever make, and even when his wife was a cook and I'm a baker, he still hasn't gotten around to seeing what they taste like!
The only upside is that I offered to try and make them for grandma when I was around the other day, and it went surprisingly well! I mean, come on, pancakes frustrate everyone at one point or another. They either burn or laugh at you as they try and set your kitchen on fire. The sweet stuff is always so mean!

Ah, I see.
