Don't get me wrong, I get on fine with mine, but not everyone does! So if they're likely to be bugging you in 20 years time, this could be the answer!! 8)

I've had two - the first one who I'm assured was "The Queen of Langley", didn't like her at all and I would have certainly bought her a ticket. The secone one I love to bits - she's great. Shame she fell out with me when I dumped her son.

My ex mother in law (as we weren't married, don't know whether I can call her that) and I are still in touch. Maybe something to do with her son dumping me! Although there were times when I could have cheerfully have sent her on a one way ticket. My current mother in law can also be infuriating, but not in ways that directly affect me (like not wearing a crash helmet when she hires a moped in Thailand, 'cos millions of others have worn it before!) - however I can tell her what I think, which would have probably ended in me being given a tongue-lashing with her predecessor!!!

The Martians would declare war on us if I sent MiL up there.

I could probably still hear her nagging from here anyway :P

I don't think she can read this.

Demons speak latin.

Your MiL taught you how to make gravy!

I wonder if mine can teach me how to rotate my head 360 degrees and vomit green pea soup.

My wife was called Golem for many years by her older brothers.

It was in the middle of the first Lord Of The Rings movie that she realised the connection.

I was waiting for the moment as her brothers had warned me.

She was mumbling to herself about what she was going to say to her &^%$^#^@! brothers.

Luckily for me she has never seen The Wombles. My nickname for her when expecting our first child was Wombles.
