// Amy’s Musings » Happy Birthday!!!

My MIL’s birthday is today. We took her out to dinner Sunday night and my mom, stepdad, and brother came. It was a lot of fun, the food was great. The moms were chatting none stop, which is always nice - unless they involve someone else in the conversation.

They were talking about the church my MIL goes to and some of the people that she knows. They were comparing notes and it turns out that one of my MIL’s close friend was married to a doctor. Turns out that doctor is the same doctor who delivered yours truly, this sort of thing can NEVER go in a good direction.

I can’t remember the exact conversation because I was having this wonderful fruity drink, ok, two of these wonderful fruity drinks.

Mom: Oh my gosh, he delivered Amy!

MIL:
Really? I’ll have to tell ________ that! Amy! Did you know that __________’s husband delivered you?

Mike:
You remember him, don’t you, honey? (joking, obviously)

Me:
Why yes, I do, we had some wonderful conversations and I’ve sent him a thank you card at my birthday every year!

*Moms rolling their eyes - then returning to their conversation sans us*

MIL: Well, you know he beat his wife, don’t you?

Moms. You gotta love ‘em.

mom says:

This is what happens when one has too many “fruity ” drinks! The doctor died dear, and she remarried an awful man who beat her. The doctor died from an inoperable brain tumor and it was quite sad, as he was only in his early 50’s.
In addition the Church apparently does not offer counseling regarding spousal abuse. These two women have bonded because of their similar set of experiences.

Miss Britt says:

I find whenever two women are discussing something even remotely related to my emergence from a crotch, it is helpful to have yourself a fruity drink or two.

Especially if it’s your mother and your mother-in-law. Every woman knows that is a combination that strikes fear into the hearts of daughters/daughter-in-laws everywhere!
