    I wouldn't take offense, but I am pretty hard to offend

    It really depends on your sense of humor and relationship with your MIL.  I tease people for their personality quarks, and people tease me back, so I would just take it as that.  I would assume it meant I was complex and clever (not bad things really IMO), and it was just one of those funny little things about you.  People could say to me "If this baby talks half is much as you do Liz, we are all in trouble", and I would laugh and say TRUE.  Because it is true. I don't shut up, I am sure it is sometimes annoying, but Im lovable and people deal with it.  At 27, I'm pretty self aware about the good and bad in my personality, and I am mostly at peace with it.

    However, if you and your MIL have issues or she is the passive aggresive type, she might be trying to insult you... so there is just no way of knowing.  I, by default, almost always assume people mean well (its easier and I hate confrontation) so I would just laugh about it...
