Stories of Family Members Who Make Life Difficult

My mother-in-law, who always thinks she knows best, came over one day with a mystery meal plan. We didn’t know what was in it, but we ate it anyway.

The next morning, on our anniversary, I woke up covered in pimples. I was horrified and screamed at myself in the mirror, realizing I looked terrible for our special day. It turned out her meal was full of cheese, even though she knew we were lactose intolerant.

Her well-meaning meal made us both sick and ruined our special day.
