How freaky is this?

Question

I have been upstairs online, and my grandma was downstairs, watching tv. I had six cans of beer getting cold in the freezer for that past half hour. She doesn't approve, and I like to have a drink when she goes to bed real early... and watch tv myself. She never knows, and I'm 27 so I am not hurting anyone. For some reason I got up and went downstairs, the beers were NOT on my mind at all... apart from remembering to not let them freeze.

Weird thing is, she gets up says she wants some ice cream, heads for the freezer, I think so quick and say I'll get it for you, she's standing three feet away and I position my body so she can't see nothing. I get her some ice cream and she goes to bed with it.

If I hadn't have got up at that moment when I was online upstairs, within minutes and angry grandma would have been knocking on my door.

Do you think divine provenance played a part?

Wow. I am so glad I got up. I'm now having a beer, and she is in bed. This was the back freezer she never use

Answer 1

I think you're 27 and need to get a place of your own!

Answer 2

I think it was a signal... live by Grandma's rules, or get your own place where you can make the rules. Having a beer may not hurt anyone (whereas a sixpack in one evening is really not cool), but if you have to hide it, then something is wrong.

Fix it by not bringing bear into Grandma's house or get your own place. It's really that simple.

Good luck!

Answer 3

You live with your grandma?  You sould abide by her rules.

Answer 4

Your grandmother is being so kind to put a roof over your head and you are deceiving her? No, I don't think for a second that divine provenance played any part in your deception, but I do think you are an ungrateful and disrespectful grandchild.

Answer 5

You are living in her house. Perhaps you need an Igloo cooler to ice down those beers IN YOUR ROOM !

Answer 6

wow thas crazy

Answer 7

I wouldn't like being 27 years old and not being able to drink where I live-even though I'm not a drinker.  I would resent being treated like a child.  As people have said I suppose she is paying the rent?  

It reminds me of family members who are like 50 years old and try to "hide" the fact that they smoke from an aunt!!! Just this year I started thinking "how ignorant and childish is that!"  If you smoke, then smoke.  They aren't around her or in her home but if there is a get together they will excuse themselves and go outside & hide around the corner & smoke.  It's about being an adult and acting like an adult!  I also understand not publicising everything about yourself but it's stupid to tell someone "don't tell Aunt Norma I smoke" when you're 50 years old!!! Grow up!!

Answer 8

Not divine providence.  Dumb luck.  It does happen.  Maybe it is time to reevaluate your living situation.  If you have to hide your lifestyle (which is normal for someone your age, by the way), you will feel increasingly trapped and unhappy.  Try being open and seeing if it helps.  If she loves you the two of you should be able to reach an understanding.  After all, you are both adults even if she is the matriarch.

Good luck!

Answer 9

well you are 27 years old and an adult. Sometimes timing is everything! I'm sure granny wouldn't like it and it's kind of deceitful for you to do this to her. Who's paying the bills? if she is you should abide by her rules, but I guess  you are also keeping her company. I guess I see no harm in it as long as you are under control after all the beer..

Cheers!

Answer 10

Divine Providence generally would not assist you in deceiving a loved one, even if her mind on the subject were meddlesome.
