Hey! Lynette here! Okay so a little administrative info to get out of the way. First of all, if you comment anonymous please sign your name at the end so I know who it is. Also if you wish to comment as your name you just select the name/url selection and you can pick your name! Second of all, I am working on the cast of characters post- patience my friends, a wise man once said if you are important enough people will wait for you therefore I expect that you will be waiting!!!
Also my sister Monica (who is married to Chandler) mentioned to me that some of you may not understand my writing style. I basically write with the same cadence that I speak. I have a bit of what I like to call social awkwardness to me (maybe you would call it shyness) and therefore sometimes I am not able to have my words flow properly! Bare with me! I am going to try to punctuate properly as to give the full effect....so that you think I am the best writer ever! ha! (okay I know I am!)
Alright so let's talk about the Mother in Laws....we all have them, we all love them, we all have stories! My fabulous friends are no exception. I mean for real we have some crazy stories! And the irony of this all???? WE ALL HAVE BOYS! We will all become crazy mother in laws! Ahhh I can just picture Jessica Simpson bossing around her daughter in law telling her that she should only buy buffalo wings because they come from organic buffalos (who do actually have wings amazingly!).
So I know you are on the edge of your seat wanting to know these stories! Should I start with one of my own? It's honestly a classic. I think it might make the Mother in Law Hall of Fame (let's just call it MIL HOF from now on!). So my MIL (Ellie Mae Clampett if you must know) is a thrifty one! She takes the term to a WHOLE NEW level! So one night we were enjoying a fine EMC (initials) meal of mashed potatoes and I think hmmmm these mashed potatoes taste awfully sweet, mmm kind of sugary. EMC kindly chimes in and says oh they are sweet because I used milk from Jed's left over cereal this morning. WHAT!?!?!?!! Oh yeah you have that right, EMC takes the milk left over from the morning cereal, gently pours it through a strainer straight back into the milk jug. Mmmmm YUMMY! WHAT?!?!?!!? I still am spinning!
Okay not funny enough? What about Teresa's MIL that so kindly wants to deep clean the house prior to Mousketeer #2's arrival with a tooth brush! Or what about Katie Couric's (my dear college friend who recently scandalously had a baby- it was very hush hush) MIL that bought her a sewing machine, sewing table and an old school Kaboodle (oh how I LOVED ME a Kaboodle) full of sewing paraphernalia and actually expected Katie Couric to sew herself a little frock. Yeah Right! What is the deal with MIL? Are they programmed to be exactly opposite of you?
Kelly Ripa's MIL is a huge garage sale shopper. She buys anything and everything at the morning sales. Bright and early, fanny pack attached she is set to go! So since Kelly and Regis are about to have Mouseketeer # 2 (I know seriously something is in the water with my friends- babies everywhere), MIL decided to shop for Mouseketeer R. She was so excited when she brought home some Thomas the Train undies. REALLY???? Is it normal to buy used underwear at a garage sale? I mean we live in Hollywood, can't we afford that? Hmmmm bizarrre.
MIL stories just crack me up! I have heard multiple MIL stories about cooking recipes- why are all of them chalked full of fat and have ZERO nutritional value. Let's take for instance green beans- if you cook them in bacon fat on the stove for 6 hours, there is zero, nutritional vegetable value! ZERO! but whatever!
So anyway, please share your MIL stories. I know you have them! Its all in fun! We all know our MIL's don't like us! After all we married their babies, we are the women in their lives. I don't know how I will feel about Dennis's future wife!

DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED!!! Ok, just a quickie since it's Charlotte's bedtime ... I will be back with more tales tomorrow. The one and ONLY baby gift my MIL (who we all know as PAPD - Passive Agressive Paula Deen) gave Baby #2 was an $11 sleeper from Belk. I only know this because I returned it and got $11 back on a Belk gift card. The people have money and this is their gift for their precious new grandchild. Only in Hollywood.
I just did a spit take on the one we share - still laughing as I type .... NMS
Seriously??!! Used milk??!!!!! Wow! :) And I thought my mom was weird about food saving...
