Grandma wanted a quiet dinner for her 85th birthday, but the family had other plans, booking an expensive steakhouse.
Unbeknownst to her, they intended to leave her with the bill, assuming her granddaughter Jade would pick it up.
Overhearing the plot, Jade decided to play along. At the restaurant, the family racked up a $800 bill, then pretended they couldn’t pay. Jade calmly walked away, making a plan with the manager, an old college friend.
When she returned, Grandma was alone, confused after the family abandoned her. Jade assured her everything was fine. Later, the family received calls from the restaurant, demanding payment. Jade enjoyed their panic while Grandma remained blissfully unaware.
Next year, Jade and Grandma will celebrate alone.
