Taking the fall for Grandma's mixup

Last time I showed her where all DCs dinner food was in the fridge but maybe this time I could prepare a plate for her to heat up instead?" Makes it clear that you did your job, aren't being petty, and are working with the parents to help grandma. I don't think you can say anything about it until/unless you're doing another handoff though (and I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure DB isn't thinking of it at all by now).

This.

I would keep it simple and just explain to the parents exactly what you told us.

It isn't tattling at all.

It was an honest mistake and neither of you is really wrong.

If the parents get angry at you or the Grandma, I think they are being irrational since no one is perfect and in life, things like this happen every now and then.

I am sure the baby will make a full recovery and everything will be back to normal.

No big deal.
