My grandma’s dad owned a candy shop. Since he was also a bootlegger who hung out with the Purple Gang, my mom got suspicious.

Her mother had occasionally worked there, so mom asked her, “Were lots of men in fancy suits going in and out of the back room while your father was there?”

“Yes, but he was a businessman.”

“Ma, you know damn well he was a gangster! Shit, you’re the one who told me!” That made grandma sheepish. “Did he hide the stuff on his desk when you went back there without warning?” Grandma admitted he had done.

Mom quite reasonably concluded he ran a numbers racket in the back of the candy store.
