Laugh your tensions away...
This is personal incident. God bless both the mothers. It involved my mom-inlaw, mom n yours truly. Every house with two women running the kitchen can be the warehouse of a joke factory. One such incident that I can never forget is... My mom is stone deaf. Mom-inlaw and I had a altercation. Mom-in-law noticed that Mom was watching our heated exchange. She wanted to involve her. She said, "Look, how your daughter behaves!" Mom walked in hurried steps. We both were observing her approach, dumbstruck probably thinking, "what will she do?" She went very close to Mom-in-law, touched her forehead, wrists, and "reassuringly" told her, "No temperature(fever)"! That brought an end to our argument and beginning of our laughter session.
Another such incident, Mom-in-law wanted to say something (not in my favour). She drew my "stone-deaf" Mom, close and started. I was waiting for my Mom's reaction and started planning my line of defence.Mom-in-law was through with her verbal list. As soon as, she was done, Mom says, "you said something? I could not hear a word.". Mom-in-law repeated. Poor Mom-in-law! Gave up after frequent interruptions from Mom, "beg your pardon", "come again", "could you repeat...", "sorry?"
Once my husband and his friends had gone for an overnight trip. One of the friends used to walk in his sleep. All the rest of the friends, wanting to help planned to pin him down, to prevent accident(s). In the darkness of the night, one of the boys sleeping in the same area, got up. All those alert guys, immediately pinned him down. He was quickly released on his protests, "I am not 'so-and-so', got up to visit the wash-room!
