We told my MIL yesterday about the baby. We were out to lunch and she was very excited. I told her that I want to buy these special photo albums for babies. It is really cool, they make soft albums that the baby can play with and it has pics of family members on each page. It is supposed to help them recognize their faces. I just think it is a cute idea. Then my MIL says to me, "we can put the pictures of dead family members in the album too and then when they can talk we can tell them how they each died." So, is it just me, or is that creepy?
Re: Was this weird, or is it just me?
Super creepy. Although knowing my mom and some of the weird things she says/does, she probably meant really well.
But no.
I just smiled and said, "that's an idea!" What was I supposed to say? DH almost spit his drink out when she said it!
Oh yeah, I totally agree. I will def show my kids family photo albums and tell them about the people they never met, but she was off on an whole different concept!
