You sure it wasn't PITA bread?

Sorry, Deb, after the pantry/panty thing, I couldn't hold back...

 

[Denim Deb]

When I was a kid, there used to be a store around here called Pantry Pride. It had letters that lit up. I remember one time when the R wasn't working, so it said Panty Pride. So, we always called that store Panty Pride after that.

wait, there's cake involved!!??? DD - i have to confess i'm a devils food fan...no surprise there!

so i survived the cook out with the MIL. the hubby and i looked sideways at each other when she asked if we wanted angel food cake and cool whip. then i snickered a little when it was the sugar free stuff and said i only wanted some berries please (drenched in some kind of fake sugar something).

i'm starting to play a new game with the MIL. she likes to monopolize the conversation and she "holds court" instead of actually "visits" with us. and the husband cant get a word in edgewise. so i usually look AT him and ask a question - and she inevitably answers from outside of my peripheral view. then i ask the husband another question and include HIS name. i do this until she actually let him talk.

so yesterday i was asking him about something fairly significant and right in the middle of it she says....

MIL, sternly with determination: I.have.a. question.

all, look at her b/c it must be important.......

MIL, takes a dramatic deep breath in, pauses, and: would anyone like some chips?

all: blink blink, shrug, someone offers "sure"

me, turns back to her husband: so what i was going to say was......

to be honest i got a lot of loving pats from The Big Man because my performance was so on point (her: harp harp harp, me, kind response). he even did the dishes when we got home and cleaned up the kitchen. wow! and of course we had a few laughs on the way home.

now it remains to be seen if i'm gonna die from ecoli or whatever from the cookout. wish me luck!

Um - what is Up with your MIL????

Was she ignored as a child???? or was she the baby and used to being the center of attention???

Oh my goodness - I hope you carefully put away that halo that is shining so brightly.. You know you wanted to wear horns!
I love the little jabs with your pitchfork, though.. You're a devil in disguise (now where's that smiley with the red horns?)

QA - she was the only child of older parents. thats the only explanation i could come up with.

KC - like i said, its a good thing there is an hour of preachin' first... one time TBM was teasin' me about letting her get under my skin and he said:

TBM: come on just let it go, What Would Jesus Do?
me: smite her.

thats all i'm sayin.

Are you sure he and my husband aren't related? Mine always says, "Just let it go, Karen - Let it go."

That's when I smack him.
