[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We hosted my ILs, my SIL, my sister and her kids, and a few neighbors and their kids for Halloween. It was a very low key event of the kids playing before trick-or-treating and the adults watching football before going out.

My ILs live out of state and came down for the weekend on their way to visit friends in SC. When I found out they were staying with us, I let them know that we were have some people over (we take turns in the neighborhood for football games), and they were fine with this.

Food served was munchie finger foods that are both adult and kid approved. We had a variety of different dips from Trader Joes and Costco served along with Ritz crackers. My MIL pulled me aside to ask if I had any other crackers as Ritz were very "pedestrian" and when I said no, we liked to keep it low key and adult & kid approved, she said "wow, this is just so embarrassing. I'm honestly embarrassed for you right now."  Over crackers. Crackers!

MIL can sometimes be a bit much. She grew up in CT and likes to pretend she's WASPy but she's not at all. Her favorite lie is "my father was in the oil business" when he was really a mechanic who owned his own shop.

Anyway, according to her, Ritz are low class crackers and as soon as she said it, I was like "OMG, I HAVE TO LET DCUM KNOW CRACKERS HAVE CLASS LEVELS!" She kept fretting over the crackers and asking everyone if they liked a dip and when they said yes, she'd follow up with "but don't you agree it'd be better on a different cracker?"

Even though it was Halloween and all of the kids looked adorable, the cracker saga was the highlight of my day. Thank god she's leaving to spread the cracker gospel to others and leaving me and my Ritz alone for the rest of 2021!  [/quote]

Your MIL will get a rude shock if she meets any actual Southerners in SC.  Both Saltines and Ritz show up on the cocktail table along with the pimento cheese.  Definitely NOT a class distinction.[/quote]
