I’ve Got A Bone To Pick With Me

(My father-in-law is finishing his homemade chicken soup lunch while mom-in-law and I are talking.)

Father-In-Law: *suddenly says* “Oh!”

(We looked over as he placed a small chicken bone in front of her.)

Father-In-Law: “You’re trying to kill me.”

Mother-In-Law: *puts her hands on her hips* “If you remember, I wasn’t the one who deboned that chicken!”

Father-In-Law: *looks at the bone and replies* “Oh.” *short pause* “I was trying to kill YOU.”
