What was the strangest thing you found cleaning out your parents’ house after they died?

This happened to to my grandmother as she was cleaning out her own grandmother’s place following her passing. It’s a revered family legend, one which I am keen to share. Gather ‘round, if you will.

Apparently, my great, great grandmother had once lost her dentures, due to her poor elderly memory. The family went nuts looking for them. They could scarcely afford to replace them.

Unfortunatelty, they didn’t find them. And so reluctantly, they scrapped together the funds needed to buy good old gran some new ones.

She died shortly after. That’s a few hundred bucks they’d never see again.

When clearing out her home, my grandmother opened the fridge, only to be greeted by the stench of old fruit and spoiled milk. She held her nose and withdrew a glass jar of peaches.

It was then she took notice of something rather peculiar floating in the jar.

You guessed it. It seems that peaches and dentures were always destined to float alongside one another in a grimy old jar.

Smart storage skills, great-great grandma.
