[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is hilarious.

My MIL is the most optimistic person on earth. If you say to her "Joe broke his leg, isn't that sad?" She will literally say "well now that crutch maker on Leland Avenue will have some work, finally!"

[b]She also tells these long convoluted stories about people she thinks we should know, even after we tell her we don't know them. "[DH], remember Johnny from high school? He had that red hair?" DH: "nope" MIL: "well I ran into his mother at the store and she said he works at the bank now! Isn't that amazing?!"[/b]

She still sends DH a letter in the mail every week. She writes about FIL in it ("dad and I went to the mall...") then signs it "love, mom and dad." She's the best.[/quote]

My mom does this too! She is forever running into people at the grocery store. And when she tells me these stories about people I don't know or remember, I just could not be less interested. Yet, she keeps telling me about the person's education and trip to Europe and...my brother and I are really tired of it though because she's always comparing our lives to those of our childhood classmates'.

yep this is my mom as well. Every time I go home she's always trying to 'set me up' to go see old classmates of mine who I am not (and in some cases was never) friends with) when I go home to visit. 'you know that Susan Smith, she's really something! she works down at the co-op now!' 'that John Jones, he's so amazing! he bikes 10 miles a day!' OMG[/quote]
