[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]

Omg my mother does this too!! Not just about people we know but about amazing shopping deals stories and just random things going on in her neighborhood. And she will repeat them too. Even when I  say something like "oh yeah you told me there's construction work in your neighborhood last week." she still wants to tell me about it again.

As mentioned she loves a good sale. She has 20 cans of coconut milk and 20 cans of broth in the garage because it was on sale as a BOGO or something. She has two fridges and one freezer full of food Lots of cuts of meat she buys when they are on sale and never cooks it. It's nuts.

When my family moved 5 years ago I helped her clean out the freezer. You'd think that knowing they were moving to a new state hey would have been cooking lots of the meat and sauces out of the deep freezer. said we had to throw most of it away because there is no way we could transport all that stuff frozen during the move of course now the freezer has been completely restockef with lots of things she probably will never cook. (at least the new house doesn't have a walk-in pantry so that discourages number for food hoarding tendencies.
