I love my father-in-law. He is kind and generous to a fault. But also has a unique perspective on things…

Talking to me one night over a cool aid…
“When we first met I didn’t think you would make a good wife and mother but I was wrong as you sure are one… No, really…”

When we visited his place with a 10 week old puppy…
“That dog will lose you some friends…be careful when you visit with friends as it is okay for him to shit on my carpet because I am family but not everyone will accept it.”

Discussing how beautiful my daughter is…
“She sure is beautiful… I don’t know where she gets her looks from. Of course Grandma sure was pretty when she was young..”
At which time I comment, “She gets her looks from her mother!”
He responds, “Nope, don’t see it. Not at all.”
