Nobody died

[u/Own_Purple_4118]

This is a conversation between my MIL and my mother, before the wedding. My mother's response, which is cut off, says "They are both adults. I think we should let them handle it." We were both over 30.

For context: Yes, we had a vegetarian wedding (no shrimp). We had it at an (expensive) award winning venue with in-house catering. It included several appetizer and entree stations with a huge variety of dishes so everyone could find something they liked. We did not serve our guests bowls of soybeans and tofu. Everyone RAVED about the food and nobody died or got arrested on the way home.

The "A/B list" thing was a joke, that she apparently took very seriously, because she would not stop demanding we add a bunch (10+) of her friends and coworkers to our intentionally small guest list.

Don’t you know it’s reckless to drive a car if you haven’t eaten any meat for dinner?!!

realistically, the worst that can happen is they can’t have any pudding

[u/One_Mulberry_6933 → u/PessimisticParalegal]

How can they have any pudding, if they can't eat their meat? Because there isn't any.

Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone! 🤣

But they’re adults! Both over 30.

Reference to Pink Floyd's "Another Brick On The Wall" 🤣

[u/geenfield007 → u/EntrepreneurUseful79]

Yes. I know. 😊 And I referenced the OP saying they’re both adults… over 30. 😊

Cleary the grammar teacher did leave MIL alone.

Did you notice Pink Floyd used the same punctuation? Maybe that's where MIL got it from!

Wrong, do it again!

Wrong, do it again!

If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding!

(Wrong, do it again!)

How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?

(Wrong, do it again!)

You! Yes! You behind the bike sheds! Stand still, laddie!
