Whoa. *I* want to smack her and I don't even know your mil.
Instead, she should be saying things like, Bless you my child for taking the risk of bring my progeny's progeny into the world and raising her to be a credit to her clan.
Sheesh.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.
Spike ,'Potential'
Spike's Bitches 23: We've mastered the power of positive giving up.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I had to just laugh, ya know?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Hits Aimee's MIL with the cluestick.
Ummm......okay. How does one even respond to that?? It reminds me of when my sister was talking about her youngest daughter, "She looks so much like you. She's my ugly little baby."

Ah, cheerful MIL bonding. Isn't it all so jolly?
Not.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Aimee, that's just evil of her!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
W.T.F???
I think she just called you a fat cow. Which, I am pretty sure, means you are allowed to beat her with the axe-handle of your choice without any legal ramifications.
MM might object though.

Oh, how annoying, Aimée.

I can't even.
My MiL sends me grief. Her latest email? "...loved the pictures. Emma is so beautiful and petite. How lucky that she got Joe's metabolism and will grow up instead of out. You and I will envy her lots! "
Say the word, Empress. I could swing by MI and stab her a bit if that would help.

Yeah, she's a handful. This is the same woman who spent almost my entire pregnancy saying things like, "Well, if that's Joe's child..." "Since that's Joe's child..." like I had nothing to do with the equation.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Aims, that's not even passive aggressive. Impressive.
