SIL called to ask what was up and he told her we’re extra busy this year. She said “why don’t you buy macaroni and cheese and extra sides from Wegmans” and he said why don’t YOU, want me to send a link? Everyone else just said OK thanks, can’t wait.

SIL is a brat. Be prepared for snarky comments when she shows up.

OP here. Thanks, I think so, too! He honestly has a good rapport with SIL, so she took the jab in stride and said she’ll be bringing a few things.
