Banned To The Backseat

PART TWO-MOTHER-IN-LAW


There is a song that goes something like this:

The meanest woman I know(mother-in law, mother-in law)

she aggravates me so.... (mother-in-law, mother-in-law)

If she'd leave us alone we would have a happy home...

Sadly enough, my version would go something like this:


The woman loves him so (mother-in-law)

If it was a choice between me or him, I would have to go (mother-in-law)

Everything he does is right

It's such a pathetic sight

That she loves him so much more than her own kid (mother-in-law)

As you can see, I'm banned to the backseat while my mother and her Precious Son-In-Law commiserate over what a rotten kid I am. We picked her up to take her to the recital. The kids had been dropped off 2 hours earlier.


I wiggled into the front seat to grab the camera. The conversation went like this:


Mom: "Lorrie, I wish you'd just SIT DOWN. What's so important that you have to GET OUT OF YOUR SEAT?"

Suckup Roger: "That's right. It's SO DANGEROUS. And by the way, I bet that truck driver passing us appreciates seeing you behave in such an unladylike fashion."  Roger is enjoying this far too much.

Mom: "Listen to your husband. And by the way, I hope you don't embarass him with that short skirt and plunging neckline."

Suckup Roger: "That's right. You'd better not embarass me."


ps Mom is dead serious; Roger is just kidding!! No man in my experience has ever objected to short skirts and plunging necklines :)
