Mother-In-Law

Since our farm came with a mother-in-law house in the back of the property the Mrs. moved my Mother-in-law into it. Fellows I can't tell you what a joy that can be. She got up in years though and never leaves the house much now. One night the Mrs. had one of her brain storms and when that happens the rain usually follows the storm! We were taking our little toddler grandaughter out for a treat of pizza and shakes. The Mrs. decided to get her mom and take her along for the ride. We were up front and the Mother-in-law was placed in the back beside her great granddaughter in her car set. We pick up the pizza and go to the Dairy Bar for the shakes. Everyone begins to drink their milkshake on the ride home. The Mother-in-law no sooner finishes her shake when she complains of being car sick and feeling like she's going to hurl. There is no where to pull over less I want to go into a ditch and I can't stop in the road and have people honking while we wait to see if the Mother-in-law's shake is going to come up. Here comes another of the Mrs. brain storms. Upon hearing a gurgling sound coming from her mother she flips open the pizza box and turns around in the car over her seat and sticks the lid under her mother's chin just in time for the fountain to flow. The granddaughter upon seeing her great grammy explode starts leaning out of her car seat towards her door and is screaming and looking back as if to make sure no demons were going to come out of her grammy too. Now the Mrs. in her haste didn't look at the pizza lid before shoving it under her mom's chin. The lid had corner holes punched out to let out steam. Ever see that little hand held game where you roll the balls and try to get them in all the holes. Well, the Mrs. was playing a new game. She was turned around over her seat with a lid full of used milkshake hovering over her mom's lap. The game was called keep the used milkshake out of the corner holes of the lid and off of the pizza in the box while doing it unbalanced and in a bumpy car. To add excitment to the game the Mrs. decided to take her eye off of the lid to turn around to me to scream stop the car, stop the car! The lid being lighter than the heavy box with pizza in it begins to fall forward and spill used milkshake out of the corner holes onto the her mother. In desperation the Mrs. stood the lid upright and let the liquid pour onto the pizza and then she shut the lid. For Christmas this year I bought my Mother-in-law a special chair with wrist staps and an overhead compartment for her head. The Mrs. said very funny and no, I can't PLUG IT IN!
