Think as a Reader/Writer

• Some writers do not use a comma before the
  conjunction and, or, or nor when it joins the
  last two items in a series. However, sometimes
  such a comma is needed to make the meaning clear.
• Grandma, Mom, and Dad came to the game.
• ( Three people came to the game.)
• Grandma, Mom and Dad came to the game. (Grandma
  is being told who came to the game.
• It is best to always put the comma in front of
  the conjunction.
