    Opal ought to take those cookies back to share with HER friends! Nelson, you ungrateful wretch!

    Nelson could act like Hon Solo and say ‘I Know’

    Women, always applying pressure. It wouldn’t mean anything if he is forced. What’s with all this biscuit talk anyway?

    The US and the UK, two countries seperated by the same language.

    Homemade cookies (biscuits) are made with love. They taste best when received with love as well. (And my good ol’ Southern biscuits are made with butter, not “GREESE” *grease — other good ol’ Southern biscuits are made with either Crisco (solid veg shortening) or lard — if the baker is hardcore!)

    In Oz, biscuits can be any shape but cookies are always round. Biscuits are always bigger than cookies except for the really big cookies. These are hard and fast rules except when they’re not.

    I blame Nelson’s mother who seems like she’s out of touch with HER feelings and so Nelson doesn’t know enough to say that he loves his grandma. I think that’s been happening more and more. My grandnephew’s 2nd grade teacher told him that he’s not allowed to hold hands with, nor call a particular little girl his “girlfriend.” Really? 2nd grade? Good thing my niece is setting him straight (no pun intended!!). He’s a very loving child and I’m grateful that he tells me he loves me.

    I’d say Nelson is a typical male who usually don’t like to express their feelings.

    Brat kid. Just say you love her.

    I agree… that’s mean. Grandmas show their love through cooking and baking and doing for their loved ones, and she said she loves him. And his answer is that?? Boo on Nelson. My kids have been told from an early age that they are loved and they freely tell family that they love them.

    Nelson, if you want more cookies you’d better say what she wants you to say. Cookies aren’t free you know.

    Glenn: Not necessarily gravy (although that is good). Some of my wife’s crabapple butter works well too.

    Oh no. I had hoped Nelson would not take after his grandpa so much.

    IMO, a lot of kids, both male and female, don’t like for you to go all mushy on them. They might love you, but don’t want to be forced to say so. Punishing them may force them into the behavior you want, but it can also kind of defeat the purpose . . .

    Pay attention to your spell-checker; the correct spelling is grease, not greese.

    If Nelson is stingy with his offering of love to Grandma, then it is possible he might keep all the cookies for himself.Most young grandkids have no problem with “I love you” for their grandmas.

    Also, the US say, “math” and the UK say “maths.” In US we would say, “Let’s do our math.” In the UK they would say, “Let’s do our maths.”

    Although we speak the same language, we might have different words that mean something different or pronounced differently.

    I love a biscuit with my tea and I love a biscuit and gravy breakfast. Depending on context and where you are they can mean two totally different things.

    My sons ALWAYS told my mom and dad I love you everytime! And everytime, everyday, and even now when my grown sons and we part for the day, we say it too! They even said it in front of their friends when they were teenagers.
