oh yeah, a T-giving Ma story
I meant to tell this story weeks ago, of course.
So this year, it was Ma and J's dad's year (we alternate). She was so excited to have us this year because of Jack and the family getting to meet him so soon. I offered to bring a dish/contribute/whatever to the meal and Ma INSISTED that she had way too much food, and told me not to. She said if we wanted to bring something to drink, great (we did).
We're there for hours, have dinner, and of course everyone is playing "pass the baby." Everyone wants to hold him and they are just lining up. So, awesome. J and I sat down on the comfy couch next to Ma's dad (who I actually get along w super great), and the three of us put our feet up and we're all resting there under a giant blanket, digesting and relaxing.
So then I hear Ma talking to her stepmom in the kitchen, "I can't believe they're sleeping. Oh, like they worked soooo hard today getting everything ready and cooking. They must be soooo tired."
o.O yeah. it has nothing to do with the 6 week old.
I whispered to J that I think Ma wants us to get up. He says, I don't care. So we still sat there and I hear her tell an aunt, Yeah, half my guests are sleeping and I want to play CLR! (There were at least 15 people at the house, so we were not "half the guests.")
So finally I just got up and went into the kitchen. But seriously, if it were my family they would have turned down the lights and covered us with another blanket, not talk shiit about us sleeping since we didn't do all the work of the holiday meal. I couldn't believe she was being so snarky, within earshot, about us resting a bit when we had the chance.
otherwise she's been pretty great, so I shouldn't complain, but I was just astounded that she'd begruge us a half hour of rest.

Tasty, I am sorry. I am not all that surprised, this is the same lady who gave your H tests and had his name changed. she wins the BSC lifetime achievement award.
I'm astounded you let that go.

People Ma does not like:
Tasty
the Jews
the blacks
People named Justin
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
Fat people
Progressives

The nerve of her! I would have said something similar to what Fallin suggested. I think it's perfectly appropriate to let someone know that you heard them talking about you behind your back. Perhaps she'll be more careful in the future.
I really dislike Ma.
