True Story: My in-laws are nuttier than yours.
I have 2 father in-laws. One whistles when you talk about anything other than him… What? He’s bored.
The other one doesn’t care either way. Example:
Me: Can I get you something to drink K?
K: I don’t care?
Me: WTF?
My Mother in-law, God love her, deserves her own entire blog/book/documentary. I am so grateful for her. She takes care of my son all the time. He is 2 1/2 and I can count on 1 hand how many times I have paid a babysitter. That being said, Lawd have Mercy, that woman is Nuts!
Off the top of my head: After 5 husbands she legally changed her last name to a word from the Klingon dictionary (this is the language of Trekkies, BTW) to a word that means, One who endures.
She loves to put temporary tattoos all over my son’s body, particularly on days when I am taking him to preschool at the church.
She loves her son to pieces, would do anything for him, and reminds me everyday what a no-good dirty ashtray he is.
Sidenote: She told me years ago that he would cheat on me. She was right.
She cusses like a sailor. Her favorite lines are, “That is so GD cute!” Or “That is so F..ing expensive”.
As I write this I realize, she’s awesome. Never boring, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
