The grates arrived one day later than they were supposed to and I wasn't home. Wife comes home, sees the box, and brings it inside. This conversation actually happened. The box is still sealed.Mrs. Gummi: Did you buy more grates? Gummi: Uhhhhh.... Mrs. Gummi: There's a grate-sized box here... Gummi: Yeah, they are grates. Mrs. Gummi: Why'd you buy more grates?Gummi: Uhhh.... They were cheap! Mrs. Gummi: We don't need more grates. What are you gonna do with them?Gummi: But they were cheap! I'll use them for projects, flip our used old grates when I sell grills on CL. Mrs. Gummi:We never need new grates. Gummi: Yeah, that's because I sell kettles on CL with our old grates.Mrs. Gummi: (thinks and stares) How many grates did you buy?Gummi: Uhhhhh.... Mrs. Gummi: That box is definitely heavier than one grate..... Gummi: Uhhhhh.... Mrs. Gummi: It's heavier than our cast iron grates?? Gummi: I bought 6......Mrs. Gummi: I knew it was more than one! She is not pleased. Damn it, @captjoe06. This is all your fault.
That's awesome! I think everyone on here can relate. I went with "the old grates are starting to rust and it's dangerous for people to eat on them." Just thinking of your parents and the kids.
