Hmmmm....

My mother-in-law (the one who I consider "dead to me"), gave me a gift for Christmas, somewhat to my surprise

"Thank you for the reminder that eating chips turns me into a cow. Moo."

I wonder if my MIL would have the same takeaway if I bought some for her?

I was particularly impressed that there was a dig about talking with my mouth open.

Right? The passive-aggressiveness is particularly impressive on this one.

Some days I wish it were possible to get married without having to have in-laws. Because that would be awesome.

LOL. I married an orphan. Voila, no in-laws.

(I suppose technically he's not an orphan, his parents just died over ten years before we ever met. As you get older, the in-laws tend to thin out a bit.)

YOUR PLAN IS BRILLIANT! I mean, I'm sorry for your husband's loss, because it sounds like he probably lost his parents too soon. (But still a brilliant plan! I am a horrible person...)

[marveen]

Uh, not really too soon except in the "things left unsaid" category"; he was their youngest and in his fifties when they died. I said older...they were in their eighties and nineties, I believe.

[froggoddess]

That is one definition of older. :)
