oh well, I didn't marry H for his inlaws, now did I?
Ugh! What a terrible thought!!
The first time my FIL met me, he wanted to shave my head with sheep-shears!!
A couple of years later, he "delegated" the duty to me of wearing the Easter Bunny outfit at the family Easter breakfast.
I can't tell you how pissed-off I was at the time. I just KNEW he did it to embarrase me. I was either going to have to wear the costume, or kick his ass in front of the whole family!
Well, I ended up wearing the costume, and was the most memorable Easter Bunny the kids have ever seen!! They all loved "my bunny" better than they ever loved him!
The moral of this story? Not quite sure! Maybe just "screw'em if they can't take a joke"!
Maybe just smile, shrug it off, and eventually the joke will be on them!
How am I supposed to look them in the eye with any semblance of respect?
You have respect for yourself, my dear, and integrity, That's what counts. Someday, they may envy you for that.
If not, then that's their loss.
