I can't keep this to myself. MIL story.

G is in tball this year.  ILs wanted to know when he had games.  I got the schedule yesterday and forwarded it to them.  It showed the team numbers and below was the match-ups with date/location/time. I simply stated: "G is on team 5"

Here is what the actual team list showed (but I'm substituting fruits for town names):

Orange #1 - coach A
Orange #2 - coach B
Orange #3 - coach C
Kiwi #1 - coach D
Kiwi #2 - coach E
Apple #1 - coach F
Apple #2- coach G
Apple #3 - coach H
Apple #4 - coach I
Apple #5 - G's coach
Apple #6 - coach J
 

She replies:  "I'm assuming you mean "Apple #5"?"

Wow!  She's sharp as a tack!  Good work MIL. Tongue Tied

  • Well, it could have been Orange #5, or Kiwi #5 . . . oh, wait.  Brilliant deduction, Captain Obvious.

  • Phew, thank God you're here to clarify!
  • Oh my gosh, thank goodness you were there to help her, otherwise she'd have missed the games!

    She sounds super smart.

    Always be yourself. Unless you suck.
  • Mine picked DD up at preschool during nap yesterday. The teacher asked her to hang out, while the teacher went to wake DD. Then MIL went over and woke some other little girl, thinking it was DD.  Hmm

    The teacher was like "Are you looking for L? She is right here - I am waking her up."

    I don't know.  I keep thinking that she is watching my kids while I'm on vacation and I should curb my assy comments...  for now.

    One of my students (yes - I was just b!tching about MIL to a college kid - lol) said that maybe she counted the 5th team down on the list... but that's still not 'Apple', which is OUR town.

    my verdict that she is stupid was only momentarily challenged.  it stands.

  • That sounds like something my MIL would say. More often than not, when I talk to her I feel like my tongue might start bleeding since I'm always trying to hold back my smart ass comments.

    OH MY GOD. 

    I'm grimacing and laughing at the same time.  

    Did the teacher tell you the story? 

     

    And same to #5 team.  Glad you could clear that up for her, whew.

    I was going to say the same exact thing. I've been able to control myself so far...but we've only been married for two months.  

  • My mom totally does stuff like that
