This is so vivid and nostalgic. The way you described Grandma's kitchen linoleum smelling of lemon bleach and old bacon fat - that unrepeatable 1994 scent - I could smell it instantly.
And being eight during that heatwave where asphalt was sticky enough to swallow flip-flops whole, such a perfect childhood detail. And Grandma calling AC "expensive air" and preferring that green metal box fan that rattled like a lawnmower, which didn't cool but just repositioned humidity and blew frying onion smell into living room - haha so real, so grandma.
You write everyday things so beautifully, it feels like a memory I lived too. Really want to know what happened with your cousin in the living room.
