"The weather's getting warm anyway. Food sitting in the freezer for too long isn't going to keep forever. Might as well take this chance to clean it out."
"No!"
Grandma sprang to her feet.
Her reaction startled both my parents.
She forced an awkward smile. "I mean... I'll clean it out myself tomorrow."
The more she resisted, the more uneasy my dad became.
"Found the key. Try it."
The words had barely left my mom's mouth before Grandma rushed over and planted herself in front of the freezer.
"How about... I just clean it out myself tomorrow? It's late. You two should go to bed."
"Mom, what is going on with you tonight? You keep blocking me from opening this freezer."
My dad's temper finally snapped. He turned to my mom. "Pull her away. I'm opening this thing right now. I want to see what's inside."
