MIL has 18 GKs, but she only considers one every year for Christmas.
She says the same thing, "I have no money to buy gifts,"
but that certain GS gets at least 500 dollars worth of gifts from
her. One year she surprised everyone and had gifts under the
tree, one for each of the 17 other kids. So at Christmas, when
the kids were at the house to open their gifts, they all got the same
thing a pair of socks. She caught a sale, 6 pairs for $2.00,
so she decided to break up the pairs for the kids.

My MIL is known as the "phone Nazi"
in our house. She can answer the phone on a half ring, and will
not put anyone on the phone unless the caller answers all of her questions,
even if she doesn't understand what the caller is talking about.
If she feels that the caller is getting cocky, she'll hang up and
not tell you that you had a call.

My MIL is forever borrowing money, 10 here, 20 there. Her famous
line is, "I'll pay you when I get my social security check."
I never see the money because it's one excuse after another.
But, if I ask her for a quarter or a dollar, she will write it down
and bug the he!! out of me till I pay her back. Also, that twenty
five cents becomes a buck and that dollar becomes two.

My MIL is so nosey that when I do my laundry, she will come down to
the basement to see how much soap I use and how I set the knobs.
Then she will go upstairs and call her DD to tell her what I washed
and how much soap I used.

My MIL likes to stand outside my bedroom door
to listen to see if my DH and I talk about her. She'll stand
there for about an hour just to make sure, and the next day she will
question my honey about our conversation.

My MIL is so worried that I'm going to hit the
lottery that she checks my coat pockets when I leave the room.
If she finds my tickets, she writes down the numbers and then goes
out to play the same numbers as me. If the number doesn't come,
she gets mad at me and tells me that I owe her money. But if
the number hits, she acts like she didn't play it.
