Needs A Grounding In Allergies
(A coworker is relating a story about his daughter’s nut allergy. He and his wife have left their daughter with his mother-in-law, who knows about the allergy. Then they get a phone call.)
Mother-In-Law: “[Daughter]’s face is all swollen. Do you think it’s because of the nuts I gave her?”
Coworker: “Why did you do that?!”
Mother-In-Law: “I thought it would be okay because I ground them up.”
(Later, after a trip to the hospital, there were social network posts of the daughter’s swollen face, with my coworker’s comments: ‘My Mother-in-Law tried to kill my daughter.’ Yes, I’d say he was mad. Surprise, surprise.)
This story is part of our Mother-In-Law roundup!
