I can't believe my MIL gave me....

$825.00!! Wow! Unfortunately, it was in the form of a check for $25.00 each Christmas for 33 YEARS! That's all, ever....just a check for $25.00 a year.

Reason: I can totally relate to this. My entire batch of in-laws abides by such token gifts. I even have a post in draft mode over at ShowMyFace about it.

  1. When you visit, I try to make yummies,
    Meals and treats please your poor tummies.
    But do I really deserve--

  2. I can't believe my mother in law gave me a gym membership, healthy cookbook and parenting book. Its just like her to remind me how horrible of a mother I am, all the while judging me on being fat and unhealthy.

    [**Didn't really happen -- but I know she has probably thought of it. She'd probably throw some cleaning supplies in for good measure. Because, ya know, I am a slob, too.**]

  3. Mother-in-laws always give neat presents,.... and the sun rises in the North.

    My mother-in-law gave me a set of pierced ear rings.. When I told her I do not have pierced ears. She said proudly, "your wife does".

  5. I can't believe my MIL gave me a book called "The Proper Care and Feeding of Your Husband." I despise Dr. Laura.
