Microfiction Monday



Oh no, not again! Why does my mother-in-law think she must stock me with preserves for the next 5 years every time hubby visits her?

I think the Mother-in-law has too many jars to even count. She has to send them somewhere.
Good one, so nice to read so many dufferent takes on the same picture. Happy Monday!

That is a rather terrified look on her face! You just never know what you'll get with MIL's. :)

I suspect that will happen a lot.
Nicely done.

Mothers in Law can be like that. Nice one.

My Mother-in-law, like my Mom, now expect ME to stock them. :)

Thanks for the giggle.

cause she's nice :)

My Mom used to make this great tomato juice. It had lots of chunks in it and she kept it in a cold basement. Well years went by and we went downstairs and found one bottle left and it was dusty. I felt certain it was spoiled but we opened it anyway and tasted it and by GOSH!!! it was the best ever and this was her gift to us to remember her by. lol

I would love to get lots of canned food, best tasting stuff ever. Good story. I did one too.

Her m-i-l is like me 20 years ago--canning scads of quarts of plum jam which I could never use up in a lifetime, so I gave quite a few away, then threw them away after 15-20 years.

Very clever and funny caption!

thanks for thinking about in-laws.

Grandma said...

Guess she'd better try some of her own skills to keep husband at home and away from his mother! Good one.

I've had some blog woes and am a day late. Far more than a dollar short. But that story won't fit into microfiction!
