At least your MIL gave you something. The only thing I every got from my first one was a headache that went clear down below the waist. Oh, I take that back, one year for Christmas she bought me two rounds of cheese--a longhorn and a swiss. The 1st hubby said, "She doesn't like cheese." to which MIL said, "Well, you do, dear, so it won't go to waste." I never figured out why she didn't just put his name on it in the first place. My second MIL had nothing to give anyone but she was nice and that was more than enough.
I would have loved cheese! My MIL gave me one of those old fashioned red rubber hotwater bottle/douche bag combination thingys and told me to keep it hanging on the back of the bathroom door!! You young girls will have no idea what I'm talking about.
Never could figure out what she was trying to say? LOL
