My New Role

A mother-in-law! Isn't it funny how we become things in life with no prior experience? I guess I've been around other mother-in-laws enough to know how I can do this. And how I shouldn't for sure. That's me dancing with my son at his (beautiful) wedding a couple of weeks ago. I was asking him if had embarrassed him with my "toast." I'll let you in on it.

After a few very nice toasts from the best man and maids of honor, I figured it was time for some humor. Actually, I had been cooking this up for a number of weeks. So, I ask for the mike and I say a few nice words to my son and his new wife and then I say, "But I have some bad news for you son." (They both look a little nervous) "Back when we told you about the "facts of life" you stated that you sure hoped Jesus came back before you ever had to do "THAT."

UPROARIOUS LAUGHTER ENSUES.

Pause - "Well, honey, He hasn't come back yet."

MORE UPROARIOUS LAUGHTER.

I was very happy it went off so well. I would have been really embarrassed if it hadn't.

So, I end for today. I think I'll be back soon.
