A Birthday Present for my Future Mother In Law
me: I’d really like to get your mother something for her birthday. I was thinking of sending her flowers. Do you think she'd like flowers?
spiceboy: Never send an old Chinese woman flowers. The only time the Chinese send flowers is when someone dies.
me: Ew. Well, what about a box of really good chocolates?
spiceboy: She doesn't have much of a sweet tooth.
me: Okay, but she's turning 70 and I want to give her a token of my affection. What do you think she'd really really like?
spiceboy: A grandson.
me: Oh my god!
spiceboy: Sorry—that’s probably what she’d really like.
me: How about a nice handbag instead?
spiceboy: Yeah, that would work, too.

I am so going to avoid making the obvious joke.
how freaking funny!!! thanks for making me laugh this morning! so i guess we know what will happen on the honeymoon!! : )
I hope you don't mind. I linked to this post. Hilarious.
My mom and my boy's mom both want the same thing. Guess it's a trend or something. Ha.
haha! i think all moms want grandchildren. period. doesn't matter if you're not even attached at the moment...
I hate it when they do that.
I've been married for almost nine months and they've been saying stuff like this since day one!
Dude, my grandma wants ME to have a son. Like. Now. I think. Well, she wants me to find a husband first...
Handbag! Yes. (thumbs up_
Or cash. My ex-husband's asian mother always loved getting cash as a present, which totally seemed SO WRONG to me on some white-girl level.
