Worst gift:  My ILs are notorious for bad gifts.  This year they took grand prize for the worst gift given to us.  They sent us an electric toothbrush.  DH and I thought that it must be some mistake, or that something else was coming in the mail for one of us.  MIL happily let us know during her next phone call how the toothbrush was for us "to SHARE".  EWWWW!  Now, I love my DH, but I will not share a toothbrush with him.  Yuck!!!!

Worst gift:  This past Christmas my MIL sent some packages for my DH, me and our children.  Mine was wrapped in a small box.  I was excited to open it, thinking that it was a bracelet or earrings.  But, much to my surprise, it was a watch.  Upon closer inspection, I realized that it was a Rolex!  After picking it up and turning it over in my hand, I realized that it was a very cheap, fake Rolex!  DH laughed and opened his gift.  Surprise!  It was a matching watch!  I thought, "Oh, well, I'll just put mine away in a drawer!"  But, DH had other ideas!  He stuffed them both into an envelope and shipped them straight back to dear old mom!

Worst gift:  In the summer of 2002 I drove across country.  I had never gone to my MIL's house, but it looked pretty scary.  She's a frequenter of yard sales, etc., which is fine, if that works for her.  On this blessed visit she gave me:  Stone washed jeans, complete with pleats and those pointy things that "fold down".  They were truly indigo stone washed, and tapered.  But, hideous as they were, that's not the bad part.  She also gave me USED UNDERWEAR!  They were typical bikini style satin panties that were OBVIOUSLY used.  It was FREAKING GROSS!  I am not even sure they were washed!  If anyone is missing some panties in eastern Oklahoma, I'm happy to report that I tossed them away.  UGH, and that was for no occasion at all.  I hate to see what's coming for my birthday!  AND, the worse part is that instead of DH being mortified, he makes fun of ME.  HA HA, my mom got you crusty panties.  It's soooooo demented!

        Signed - Demented!
