A Weighty Statement
(Me, my husband, his mother, and our eight-year-old son are sitting at a table dining. Our son is unhappy about losing a toy and we try to comfort him in a pretty traditional way…)
Mother-In-Law: “Don’t be sad, Sometimes losing things means they made space for something else in your life…”
Husband: “Yes, and losing is sometimes good, and it makes you happy!”
Me: “For instance, when you lose some weight!”
Mother-In-Law: *not listening* “…and maybe someone else finds what you lost and is happy to have it.”
(Everyone burst out laughing leaving my mother-in-law confused.)
