Take my Mother-in-law...There's a reason there are so many bad jokes about mothers-in-law. You don't choose them, they just come along as emotional baggage with your object of affection. I'm lucky, my m-i-l is lovely*, but don't let that put you off telling us how mad your in-laws really are.
*No, really

Sort of in laws..my girlfriends grandparents,
While on a regular visit i was doing my standing and smiling and nodding duty...
The subject of my girlfriends brothers bowel disorder came up (you know when you need a sheeit and can't? well imagine you have it 99% of the time, unpleasant)
It had been mentioned before (seems a point of extreme interest in old folk) they would occasionally send prunes to help out (despite him useing medication that would make a serveer mess were anyone else to take them) and tell us about it, "some liquorice allways flushes me out" e.t.c.
But oh no, this time an enema is suggested, i'm subjected to a 15 minute very detailed discription of how grandad would use soap to lube up a rubber hose, stick it up his arse then inject warm soapy liquid into his back passage.. then release the newly mixed sudsy arse broth.
My would be mother in law irons pants and socks... "just in case you were rushed into hospital..."
Aren't old people great ;)
