My mother-in-law has always ruined milestones, so when she “accidentally” knocked over our gender reveal cake, the shock was her smirk. But my SIL’s unexpected turnabout ruined her smile!
My mother-in-law is good at destroying milestones. This family mythology has haunted every important moment of our relationship.
Let me describe her best devastation hits.
Our wedding is a good example. Most mothers-in-law worry about matching the dress code, but she wore a cream outfit so close to white that my wedding planner nearly fainted.
“It’s not white,” she said with her decades-old innocence. “It’s mere cream.”
Photographs provide a different tale.
In the sunlit church courtyard images, her outfit is almost blindingly white. When I initially saw those images and realized she’d damaged every one, I felt ill.
The pregnancy announcement followed.
We prepared a special moment to announce our news.
Daniel and I chose elegant cards and a cozy restaurant for a family supper.
Patricia outdid us. I received a Facebook notification on dinner day. She shared our pregnancy announcement with family tags.
