Peanut butter and young Grandma Lucy

When I mentioned the story about Grandma Izzy and the peanut butter stuck in her mouth to Grandma Kathleen, she laughed softly and said, "You know, my mother had a similar experience!"

Grandma Kathleen told me that when Grandma Lucy was a child, the peanut butter was stickier and had to be stirred up. Like Grandma Izzy, Lucy loved peanut butter, and would try to snitch it. Well, one day Lucy was in the pantry with a spoonful of peanut butter when she heard someone looking for her!

Not wanting to be caught red-handed, Lucy quickly put the peanut butter out of sight--in her mouth. Unfortunately, she couldn't swallow the sticky peanut butter and was caught red-handed anyway.
