Mothers-in-Law

I love my mother-in-law. Why? She wears wears pink. She wears her seatbelt. She wears her heart on her sleeve and her finger in her nose. She loves frosted cookies at Christmas and a good bottle of chilled white wine anytime. She's a prankster who wears Billy Bob Teeth and fake Coke bottle glasses while dining at fine restaurants. She calls me Krissy (even when she's sober). She's happy to see me.

Even if you don't have a good relationship with your in-laws (or don't have in-laws), take a moment to think of someone who has treated you like family. Now give them a call.

Now I see where DH gets his good looks! And she your mother-in-law has naturally beautiful teeth, although I must confess, that I am a complete sucker for those Billy Bob (or Betty Bob) ones.

Yes, taking a moment to treat someone nice is often forgotton. Thanks for the beautiful reminder.
I say nice rather than family, as some people may not want to be treated like their family treated them. But that is a seperate issue. Having a good relationship is very very important.
