There are two GSs in the
family. We left the other one's birthday party, where my DS was
given a mylar balloon with a popular children's character on it.
MIL patiently followed us to the car, and then proceeded to take
the balloon from DS. She stated, "Oh, we have to give it back
to the birthday boy. It's his favorite." All of the mylar
balloons handed out to guests were the same.

MIL believes that illnesses
are caused by dirt, germs, and bad company, and they're all "catching".
I used to work in a hospital, and many patients had cancer. MIL
asked me, "Aren't-cha scared you're gonna catch cancer?"
I said truthfully, "No. I have no contact with patients because
I'm a secretary, and as far as I know, you don't catch cancer from
someone who has it." She insisted that just being in the hospital
was a risk for getting cancer. "You can pick it up."
I had nothing further to say, but I was secretly amused. MIL had
painful feet from wearing tight shoes, and had surgery. Of course,
germs could be the culprit here, but my self-pitying MIL explained
her condition this way. "That's what I get from working so
hard!" Groan. MIL also believes that you can't go outside
right after "worshin' your head", because, "You're
gonna catch ammonia!" Another time, she told me that she didn't
let her DDs use tampons until after they were married, because tampons
ruin a girl for marriage. I am not kidding. Looking back, I missed
some golden opportunities. I could have had some fun with her lecturing
advice. For instance, when she sternly warned me that I'd "get
ammonia" from going outside right after "worshin' my head",
I might have replied, "That's never gonna happen to me, 'cause
I never worsh my head." And when she said that tampons ruin
a girl for marriage, I wish I'd had the nerve to tell her, with
a straight face, "I thought you were supposed to use those
things for nosebleeds."
