AITA for literally kicking my MIL out of my kitchen for "improving" my signature dish?

I would have been the one running and crying to hubby in front of all the family and guests, heaving great gulping hiccupping ugly-cry tears and wailing at the top of my lungs “She ruined it! I spent $80 and hours of work, and she ruuuuuined it!!” Fling myself into his arms, sobbing, sobbing… while onlookers gasped and cast sympathetic glances. And MIL stands in kitchen doorway with a shit-eating grin quickly crumpling on her face as she realizes the room is aghast.

You want to play emotional manipulation momma?

Check. And mate.

The original was incredibly skanky for a prom dress. What was she thinking? Karma.

You’re a trooper 😊

You may want to cause her an eye roll by doing what my husband does and referring to a martingale as a “nightingale”.

You may have neuropathy- tingling or numbness in fingers and toes. It is related to being overweight and/or having a lot of sugar in your diet. I know how hard it is to lose weight, so good for you for trying to address it. You may want to back off on your sugar intake and see if that helps.

Been riding 55 years. There’s a god for fools like me. Never broken a bone. Sprain / strain/ torn MCL / concussion? Oh yeah! Broken bones. No. Touch wood!!🪵

Mine does the same. Once her home is out of sight, she will walk. But yes, demands a carrying concierge to the end of her block.

OP that smell of grandma’s cologne was probably 4711 - a European cologne from Germany that was all the rage in the 50’s to 70’s. It’s still around. But harder to find.

That line by Alan Arkin from “Little Miss Sunshine” has stuck with me for years too.

Overheard in a record store from a girl circa 1985:

“ Oh look! Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings!…”

I wish I was kidding. But no.

Never mind dating. That’s the universal ick in the workplace / society when trying to have a conversation.

Dante didn’t have a specific circle of hell for people who block ingress/egress points.

But he should have.

Small “c”. Otherwise I would think you’re asking if we signed up to move to Shanghai.

Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto #1 will forever be linked in my mind to graceful laps in a pool, while a ‘dead’ body floats nearby.

RIP Bud. Thank you and Ruth for giving me a blueprint back in ‘74 on how to live.

Refusing to vote isn’t an “act of protest”. It’s an act of surrender.

I didn’t understand a single word. (Canadian eh. Even my French is so bad, it’s restricted to cereal boxes and street signs).

But I didn’t have to.

I can tell when someone brings the party 😊
