[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I'd want to punch him for this. I'm not a huge fan of my in-laws, and they sound like they'd get along with yours. How do others in the room react when he says this? I ask because I'm sort of torn between the "just ignore, he's a nitwit" advice and the "direct confrontationl" advice. If everyone else in your family rolls their eyes and changes the topic, then he's just a sad old man with one sad old joke, and everyone finds him ridiculous. If you feel you aren't getting that kind of support from the rest of the family though, it might be worth addressing more directly. As PP mentioned, if you did so, you might find that he'd be too embarrassed to repeat the behavior.[/quote]
