The Power Of Mother-In-Law
Jessie’s mum is my best friend. I am invincible when Jessie’s mum is around. Everything Jessie says which is bad about me gets thrown back at her. Double the intensity.
Let me highlight two incidences to prove my point.
Incident 1
I was driving the both of them to their new place in Tampines, when I had to switch lanes last minute and I couldn’t do it.
Jessie : Just accelerate and cut into his lane!
Me : The car behind is too near. I’ll go behind him.
Jessie’s Mum : Jessie you keep quiet! You don’t tell people to cut here and there. What if an accident happens? If you’re not driving, just keep quiet!
Incident 2
I was at their place, standing outside the toilet telling her mum how beautiful the newly-renovated flat looked. Jessie came out from the toilet.
Jessie : You can use this bathroom to bathe next time.
Me : Great.
Jessie : Just don’t make the entire bathroom floor wet. Mummy! You know what? Chris’s dad says he bathes like a water buffalo. The entire toilet is soaking wet when he’s out.
Jessie’s Mum : Why do you like to say these kind of things? Keep quiet!
And of course, it works the other way round too (my dad and her).
