So we had a family reunion picnic this weekend, and since I just recently became able to show off my little pooch of belly, I wanted to wear something that emphasized my growing tummy. (Not many of them had seen me since I found out I was pg.)
I wore a spaghetti-strap tank top (with a built-in shelf bra) and one of DH's buton-down shirts on top with khaki pants (elastic waist). Well, seeing that I am making another person, my metabolism was through the roof, and I started sweating if I even thought about wearing the button-down, so I tied it around my waist.
All of the women were in the kitchen area getting the food ready--there was probably about ten-fifteen of us (it's a LARGE family
). MIL was sitting across the room from me, and at a pause in conversation, she yells out, "Lynn, are you wearing a bra??" You could have heard a pin drop in the silence that ensued. I replied, "No. Is that okay with you?" (imagine me saying it sarcastically). She immediately became embarrassed, covered her face with her hands, started laughing, and shook her head "No."
My SIL spoke up in my defense, and said, "There's a bra built-in to it, Mom." Then leaned over and whispered to me, "Remind me not to pack any of those kind of shirts when we go to visit them this summer!"
Let me say that MIL is a little bit CRAZY--all her kids agree--and no one EVER contradicts her. At least until I came along.
She told my DH (who was sworn to secrecy 
) that I think I know everything. 
:
I really do have a good relationship with all of DH's family--I don't consider myself an "IL"--but sometimes MIL drives me CRAZY! Luckily, everyone who heard the conversation thought she was completely out of line. So...what do you think?
