Stories of our In-Laws

[Coze]

Hi hi-

We all have those stories about our Monster-In-Law or our Father-In-Law, etc, but what about those stories about our In-Laws that just are too funny for words...

Here are my examples...
1) I've posted this one in a previous journal, but it's too funny. My In-Laws were in town one weekend (they are truckers and are in town about once a month for a weekend). During that time, my cats started going a little batty so I went to the wash closet to get their catnip, only to find the bag was gone. I was kinda upset because I buy really expensive catnip, but then laughed because the only person that had been in our apartment besides family was the maintenance guy who came in to fix the dryer. Now, since I buy really expensive catnip, it looks kinda like a different kind of clumpy green herb. I laughed because I could only imagine the look on our maintenance guy's face if he tried to use my catnip for that purpose. We all got a really good laugh out of it.
The next morning, my FMIL called me into the bathroom. She almost had tears in her eyes as she handed me $20 and told me to go buy more catnip but not to store it in a rolled up plastic bag. Apparently, she thought the catnip was the other clumpy green herb and that her son had started smoking again. :rofl: :hysterics:

2) My FMIL is a riot, and because they are truckers, do not keep a house. The last time she was in town, she decided to do me a favor by loading the dishwasher. She loaded it and then asked where the detergrent was. I told her to grab one of the packs out of the box below the sink. She did, and I turned back around to finish my homework. I could hear her behind me rummaging through the kitchen drawers, but didn't think anything of it. She then asked where the scissors were because she couldn't get the pack open. I turned around and looked at her as she's trying to rip the Electrisol Gel pack open to get the detergent out... :rofl: :lolroll: :laugh3: My FMIL really needs to be home more...

TTFN...

I have NEVER met my FFIL .. James parents are divorced and has been since he was like 5yrs old. His dad lives maybe 6hrs away from us in Arkansas. He doesn't know if he will make it to our wedding.

James is close to his mother and grandma. Those are what i consider my in laws aka..My new Family.

His grandma is a bit old fashion, but a really sweet lady. She just turned 80yrs old this month. She was married to her husband for 50 yrs before he died. They had 9 kids between the two of them. (they each had 1 before they married each other). If we are there for dinner time, she will fix a meal for all of us to eat. She lives in her own house with her little doggy Gabby which is just as sweet.

James mom lives across the street from her mom (james grandma). She has a sense of humor like James. She treats us both good and has liked me from day one.

Both James mom and Grandma are Catholic.. His mom attends retreats and such. She took me to a Church Bazzarr (yard sale) with her cause i volunteerd to help her carry stuff in that she donated for it. Then she proceeded to take me around and introduce me to the other church members.

I got to meet a NUN for the first time.. I was disappointed..she was wearing a sweater skirt set..Not the black and white outfit.. ;)

Grandma was there for the church event too..and she was proud to take me around and introduce me too.

(James was home sleeping).

We live an hour and 15 minutes away from James family (they are in Kansas). We try to see them regulary.

Oh man, my FFIL and FMIL are THE BEST. I really lucked out, since my parents are so crappy.

FFIL has the worst sense of humor. Tom is JUST like him, which isn't a bad thing, because his dad's such a good guy.

For Tom's two older sister's weddings, FFIL had to do something funny to embarass them. For the oldest one, he had the DJ play "Who Let the Dogs Out" before the started the father/daughter dance, because she HATES the song. It was a hoot.

Then for the other older sister, he walked onto the dance floor in clown shoes and a clown nose for their dance. It was priceless.

He's the best man at our wedding, and I can only imagine the toast he'll give...it'll be great, and it'll be especially great to have it on video!

FMIL is great as well. She would do absolutely ANYTHING for her family. She's told me more than once that she's thrilled to have 7 kids now, not just 4.

Jeez, I'm all teary-eyed over here now!!

Coze ~ LMAO at the catnip! and the gel packet is too much. Sounds like something my gma would do.

I really don't like my FFIL. He's a serial cheater.

But I LOVE my FMIL and her husband. FH moved out when he was 14 to live with his dad and brother in MI (from WA). He didn't talk to his mom for 7 years (FFIL and brother brainwashed him). So I made him call her one night and that scored me some major points.

She had two boys so from the very start she has called me her daughter. She tells me all about her wild youth and teases me for my lack of cooking skills. And his stepdad is just the sweetest guy in the world. He has a son who doesn't talk to him (brainwashed by mom). So he is excited to have Pat and I in their life. He was so sad when he found out that the hotel I'm getting ready in is just across the parking lot from the ceremony site, he wanted to rent a limo for me.

They've just been so sweet and we're planning on moving out there in a couple years. They only have a manufactured home on their land and we're going to build a house on it with an addition for them. It'll be the first "real" house either of them has had. They really deserve it.

While I'm sure I have some stories about FMIL and FFIL, I have to tell a story about a conversation between FH's grandmother and FH's uncle that was pretty funny.

As a pre-script to this story... FH's grandmother is the mother of 11 and FH's uncle is probably the most outspoken of FMIL's siblings... They were at FH's aunt's house in Vermont and it involves FH's little dog, Simon.

Simon likes to have his belly rubbed, so FH's uncle was sitting around rubbing the dog's tummy and the dog keeps trying to push FH's uncle's hand down to it's naughty bits... and FH's uncle says to FH's aunt, "Jane, your dog keeps wanting me to rub his weiner!" and FH's grandmother turns to him and says, "So? Every male wants that!" and he says, "Yeah. You the one with 11 kids would know that."

I have liked my future in laws from day one :)

The other day James mom called to ask if I had the last Harry Potter book that was out. She was at the mall and they were having a sale. She was going to buy me the book.

How sweet huh?

She already bought me that book..she bought it for me for my 29th birthday (our bdays are 2 days apart). I told James that so she didn't get it for me.

When we come to visit, she usually feeds us lunch and gives us a few dollars for gas money or whatever.

She is going to pay for James & Chad's tuxes for us.

I try to keep her updated on wedding stuff by sending her an email with new pictures, details, etc :) She never TELLS us what to do for our wedding or even makes suggestions. She asks what she can do.

James has a sister who has 3 kids.. I don't have any kind of bond established with his sister since she lives in Illionios. Her boys are 9 & 11 yrs old. They seem to accept me but would rather play their video games or sports. The little girl is 2yrs and absolutey adores me. Betsy and the kids come to visit a few times a year.
