When I was eleven or twelve years old, I babysat my next-door neighbor girls, Cindy and Verna Knight. Mrs. Knight left instructions on what I should do that day. She told me to make grilled cheese for their lunch. I could not imagine how in the world I could grill the cheese and then serve it to them. We went next door I asked my Mom how to grill and serve grilled cheese. She had no idea other. We then called my paternal Grandmother; she laughed uncontrollably and told us it was a sandwich and how to prepare it. That was the first time I had ever had a grilled cheese sandwich.
