funny MIL story

I posted on my blog about Liam teething for the last 3 months straight.   My SIL told me that when her daughter went through the same thing, my MIL said to her "what is she...a shark?  She just gets rows and rows of teeth?" 

Cracked me up.  It kills me how our parents do not remember any of the baby stuff.  What, they teethe?  They aren't potty trained yet?  What do you mean we have to go back so they can nap??

    Ah, yes. The absent-minded grandparent. Honestly, it's shocking my own mother didn't kill me as an infant considering some of the things she says now.

    For example, our conversation yesterday about traveling to Philly for Thanksgiving. Let's see: a not-quite two-month old, a three year old and a plane flight during the start of flu season? Not happening. She tried all sorts of arm-twisting. 

    That's not the worst she's said though - when my sister had an ultrasound to determine a M/C, my mother actually asked her if the baby could've been hiding. If she'd been near me for that comment, I'd have punched her square in the face (and I actually like the woman). I think the more grandkids, the more brain cells grandparents lose.

    I nearly called the freaking police on my dad the other day.  He was driving my uncle's car, a VW convertible, and he forgot to take Tess's carseat out of his van so he pulled the cargo flap over the backseat and told her to lay down and hide while they went to Dairy Queen and then brought the girls home. 

     **I feel like I need to add that they were 100% in a residential area and didn't drive more than 1 mile but still, an accident could happen anywhere. I guess since carseats weren't mandatory when my brother and I were kids he doesn't accept that they are completely nonoptional in this day and age.

    Sweet Jesus this is good stuff.
