My lovable FIL is sometimes given to cryptic messages. His most recent one was sent to Perfect Husband via email, along with a photo of Babby on his walk through the snow.
His message?
I am hoping that you truly realize that you have a major duty to keep this lovely child very good natured for his first few years because his intelligence is so obvious. We want it to be a loving, gentle intelligence.
We’re trying to appreciate the sentiment with which it was intended, and ignore the subtle hint that he’s worried our baby may grow up to be Hitler if we aren’t careful.
We must use this baby for good and not evil...
Your fil is an interesting man! Your baby (who shall herein remain nameless) is so adorable!!!
You remember his wedding speech 😀
What the what?!?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
Your FIL is Jor-El. Who knew?
So…what’s your plan for keeping him challenged when he gets to school and is bored by the public school curriculum? That’s what what we’re getting from *my* MIL…
Sometimes I’m very thankful my in-laws barely even call… 😀
Ha! Actually, *my* interactions with her are pretty limited, so Mike’s the one who usually just relays the message afterwards, and then I can just roll my eyes and chuckle.
Thankfully, in BC there are Montessori programs under the public system. I’m getting him into one of those, by hook or by crook!
Answered!
Oh, wow! I would love that!
Having been through Montessori myself, I’m really relieved – it is SO much better than the traditional school system.
Damn you! *shakes fist* So much for my “we’ll cross that bridge if/when we come to it.”
You could suggest to her that she offer to pay for Montessori school, if she’s so worried about it :-p
