We consider ourselves pretty savvy, but this week we fell prey to one of the most sinister perils of traveling with children…Grandparents.

These slow moving creatures wield unorthodox weapons such as Ice Cream and the constant use of the word “Yes”.

An example of this horror came during our current visit to San Diego. I found our 2 year old standing in her Grandmother’s family room, face buried in a pint of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. No spoon, no napkin, just a tongue and sheer bliss.

When questioned, Grandma’s defiant response was “I asked her if she wanted a spoon and she said no”.

What’s your Grandparent horror story, and more importantly, how did you get even?

We didn’t create this…we just felt the need to ween you all off Halloween with this twisted little tech “hack”.

So, if you have a thirst for blood and a need for portable storage, you might want to get all hopped up on leftover candy and take a knife to an adorable stuffed animal. It’s cathartic, creative and more than a little bit creepy.
