a li'l taste

Since most of you appear to be
Anxiously awaiting my upcoming
MIL posts...

Let me give you a li'l taste of
The kinda things you have to
Look forward to

OK..
We have a family wedding coming up
While she is here
Of her neice
Hub's tree-huggin', dreadlock-sportin', barefoot-walkin' cousin
It's a casual thing
It's also a pot-luck "bring your favourite dish" thing
The whole thing has turned into a big joke
AnyHOW..

Me: What are you going to bring?

MIL: I'm not bringing anything.

Me: But, everyone is supposed to bring a little something.

MIL: I'm coming from out-of-town plus I'm giving them a gift? I'm supposed to feed myself TOO?? Not on your life.

Me: Well, it's a long day. Drive up to the lake, out in the heat, fresh air. You're going to get hungry.

So far can everyone see how much I enjoy baiting her? (Evil grin)

MIL: Well, hopefully there will be buns. I'll just have a bun if I'm hungry.

Me: So, why don't you bring a bag of buns?

MIL: Because they're lucky I'm even going, that's why.

Me: How's that?

MIL: Because it's not a real wedding, if you ask me. Whoever heard of this kind of thing, anyway? Wear what you want?? Bring your own food?

Me: It's just a celebration. They want to get everyone together to celebrate.

MIL: Yeah. And to feed them. Besides, she said to 'bring your favourite dish'. I'm sure everyone's 'favourite dish' is just filled with onions and garlic and who knows what else. I can't eat all that garbage. I'll be sick as a dog.

Me: Well, you had better stick to the buns then. We'll stop and grab a bag on the way up, just in case nobody is bringing any.

MIL: How am I supposed to keep the butter cold for the 2 hour drive up there?


And so the vicious cycle begins. One thing leads to another to another to another...

So, there you have it.
The kind of thing you should look forward to.

A li' taste of the madness
