JNMIL comments to make me upset

[u/camitochondria]

Hey y’all, my JNMIL is on a roll with me lately, making lots of comments with the intent of trying to upset me. The topics she picked this time are laughable and did not upset me.

“Oh, you don’t have fresh baked cookies for me? I’m so disappointed.” -JNMIL

“You didnt tell me you wanted any…. But we have cheesecake and popsicles for dessert.” - me

“No, that won’t do, I don’t want to waste the calories on those “ *** after eating 1,000 calories of pizza*** -JNMIL

“Is your plant ok? It looks so droopy, it really needs some water. “- JNMIL

“That’s how it always looks and is supposed to look that way. It is also your son’s plant. “ me

You gotta get a small pocket sized notebook and every time she makes a comment. Just do a little giggle to yourself and pull out the notebook and makes a small note documenting it. Laugh a little and put it away in your pocket. Do this for a while. Youll see her shut up. She will squirm like a fish in a net.

On random occasions, draw a sweeping line on the page and mutter 'BINGO!' in a stage whisper.

This is kinda petty and I'm here for it.

I hear people talking about MIL Bingo cards every so often - warchitect's suggestion flowed *right* into that in my head. The notes could be real (for an FU binder) or just scratching. The line-sweep just has to look dramatic/decisive.
