My MIL cracks me up

My husband and I always joke with her that it's always an adventure when she calls lol. YOu just never know where the conversation is going to go. She tends to not focus very well. She doesn't really listen she just kind of glosses over the conversation... and she yells at my hubby ALL the time because he does the same thing whenever they talk on the phone lol. They are two peas in a pod.

SO anyway, her and I are emailing back and forth about our disney trip in September. tomorrow is 180 days so I can book the princess lunch at Akershus. For two days we h ave been emailing back and forth about it. So I laid out my plan for the day (I have been dubbed the tour director for the group of us lol). get there maybe for RD, do some stuff and then go for lunch at the Akershus (on the 27th... which is my daughters birthday)

then I told her I didn't have any other restaurants really planned at the moment so if there is one she wants to try then let me know and I'll reserve that too.

She comes back with... and I quote...

"I can't think of any restaurants at the moment... but what about the princess lunch on DD's birthday?"

uhhhhh... did I just enter the twilight zone because I'm pretty sure that's the reservation we have been talking about for the past two days I didn't SAY that of course but I'm glad it was over email because as soon as I read it I just started laughing out loud. It's just so... HER.

She's just always going 100 miles an hour and doesn't stop to listen lol. so then she ends up asking the same question 10 times because she asks and then doesn't listen to the answer LOL. it's actually quite hilarious. She'll email me to tell me she has something to tell me (I know lol) and she'll call me later...

I always laugh and send her an email back saying I can't WAIT to hear what this will be lol because it's always something great

My grandmother does the exact same thing. We will all be at the dinner table and be talking about something. About 5 minutes after we finish she begins to talk about it like it is a brand new idea. My Aunt and I always tease that she would make a really good drinking game.

haha yes this is exactly like my MIL. and it's not a memory problem or anything she just doesn't FOCUS on anything lol. she's too busy and go go go all the time lol

We always have a bet going for every trip we make to visit her. there is always one phrase that she says to us OVER and OVER again lol. Like one time it was "when you get here I will be out but there will be soup and sandwiches for you". She told us that EVERYTIME we talked to her lol and we keep in touch a lot while we are on the road lol.

Another time was telling us that we couldn't check in until 4 at a place we were staying. told us that EVERY time we talked (it was a two day drive for us... well we TOOK two days to do it) and then she still tried to get the key before 4 and was disappointed they wouldnt' give it to her lol like HELLO... were you participating in the conversation we had 30 times the last two days? NO KEY until 4 o clock. of course I don't SAY that but we will always just laugh and then she'll say "Oh quit picking on me you two" and then slap us on the arm or something silly like that lol. it's always something so we will bet on how many times we'll hear the same phrase lol
