Helps keep the post office in business...

She mailed a box to herself at our home prior to her arrival (normal protocol for her). In said box was a barking puppy dog for our kids. Puppy dog's head was partially ripped off. She obviously got upset about this. She attempted to return the dog to a Kohls in our town without the receipt. They only offered her $10 when she paid $15 so she has decided to mail the dog back to her house in her home state, return it to the Kohls there, get another identical, annoying dog toy, then mail us the replacement doggy..... Very cost effective. Especially since its going to likely be broken 5 minutes after the kids open it.

Likes being comfortable.....

She was out running errands with us today for 4 hours before she realized she had on her house slippers. We certainly got some weird looks at the sporting goods store.

Keeps up with the weather...

She was flipping out in the airplane before it took off because it was "flying into a tornado! We are going into a tornado!" She then shared her knowledge of tornadoes with an equally ignorant woman on the plan who then proceeded to also lose her mind. The "tornado" discussed was actually a tropical storm that was due to possibly hit 3 days later.

Takes interest in her son's career...

My husband is an aviator for the Army. He convinced her that the army has a fleet of operational hot air balloons used in covert operations.

Enjoys being a guest in our home...

She snapped at me this morning because I insisted that she, a grown woman, get her own yogurt cup from the fridge. I had surgery 5 days ago and apparently I'm supposed to feed my kids and open her yogurt cups for her too. :/

Has a unique parenting style...

It just happens to be the complete opposite of mine. And she is sure to always remind that it "was not like that while (my husband) was a kid and he is fine."

Loves telling a good story...

In fact she loves telling stories so much that she is completely incapable of answering a simple question with either "yes" or "no."

Is comfortable in her own skin....

She whipped out her tits to show me how lopsided and saggy they were. Of course she did not consult me prior to her indecent exposure and now I may require therapy.
