times were tough during the depression and grandpa worked in the mines. but he also had a side gig.

one day during dinner dad was telling story of how he and another kid were hunting and they spotted a man walking across a field. so this fellow disappeared, just poof.

well 2 kids had to investigate that and what they found was a still. for a period of time they would steal the sugar out of the still and sell it.

well, dad turns to grandpa and says "i bet you did not know who was stealing your sugar"

grandpa spoke up right quick and very indignantly "oh," "yes i did"
