Why My Grandma is Awesome

One of my brother's Christmas gifts was particularly cold. Literally. He picked up the gift from under the tree and it was freezing. And it was from my Grandma Phyllis (my mom's mom). He had no idea what to think. Maybe Grandma had baked him some cookies and then kept them in the freezer? Maybe she had packed some other food or something in ice?

It was very strange.

And he was even more confused when he the gift tag said something about "cold hard cash."

So he opened the gift, and inside was a jar of ice, with coins and dollar bills literally frozen inside. And my Grandma was just giggling and giggling.

She gave him ice cold, hard cash. Literally. And she got such a kick out of herself.

But the funniest part was that he had to thaw out the gift. And so for the next day or so there were wet bills and coins drying on the counter, as layer by layer Adam retrieved his money.
