My_Grandmathers_Story

My Grandmathers Story Miss Elephant Feet It's early in the morning. I am standing in my tiny kitchen, half asleep, trying to prepare my breakfast - coffee and cereal - and at the same time looking out the window to see how the weather is. I open the bag of coffee and pour brown, coarse, granules into a golden filter; now just a click of a button and it will start brewing. The aroma alone is opening my eyes wider, and I notice that it's beginning of a sunny day. I open the fridge, take the purple milk container out, and in my sunny yellow bowl mix it with my favorite cereal. Still standing by my kitchen counter, I start to savor my coffee and continue to eat my corn flakes and then in the back of my mind I can hear the voice. 'My dear, you should never eat while standing up, all of the food will go straight to your ankles and you will be known as Miss Elephant Feet.' That's what my great grandmother used to say to me whenever I misbehaved and got up from the table or ran around the room while consuming my lunch.
