My random MIL strikes again
I think I've posted on here before about how MIL brings us random things. We can't figure out why, it's always a nice gesture, but so strange. She stopped in for maybe five minutes one day and left a turnip for us. We don't eat turnip.
Another day she called, said she had something for us she was going to swing by to give us. It was four apples.
Today she spends the day at our house watching Alex. I went to the bathroom after she left and noticed we now have a new bathmat. Same color and size as the old one, but it's definitely not the same one that was in there this morning. The odd thing, she didn't mention it and I can't find our old one.
Re: My random MIL strikes again
Our crazy, wonderful life
Oh, I think it's hilarious. It's always a game of "why?" with her.
When I asked H about it this morning he said he thought I bought the mat. I told him it appeared during the day yesterday. His response: "at least it wasn't another turnip".
my MIL would so do that (not the food, the bathmat) but she'd have to talk about it incessantly and why she did it and why mine wasn't good.
So, I'd trade you for random silent gestures, lol.
My MIL also leaves random stuff at our house. After her last visit, I found a bag of those laundry detergent capsules in the laundry room and some more type of capsule things for the dishwasher under my sink. She also brought a 5 lb. bag of sugar "because it was on sale" (yeah, because it clearly got wet at some point and is hard as a rock). And she brings her own groceries when she visits and leaves a ton behind.
The laundry capsules include OxyClean, which breaks DH and I both out plus I don't know how to use them with a front load washer. I don't know how to use the dishwasher ones either because we fill up the door with liquid soap. And I have a regular Coke stuck in my fridge can holder that keeps getting moved to the back because no one in our house drinks regular coke.
You could roast the turnip and apples with brussel sprouts! YUM!
