Guest john Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 In the southern hemisphere the 20th June each year is purported to be the shortest day of the year. Some years ago it was recorded in a magazine that the following celebrations should be remembered on this day as follows: 1. Make a special effort to visit your motherinlaw on this day. 2. If someone comments that they are cold on this day, lift their feelings by mentioning that you are as warm as a motherinlaws kiss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Poor old mothers in law. I got on perfectly with both of mine. If you don't like the mother, why would you marry the offspring. They have a lot of genes in common. Nev 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zibi Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Talking about mothers in law - there's this one ad on tv about some insect repelling gizmo, where a guy pops up with his experience and goes along the line: - I've installed 3 of these at mother in law's house couple weeks ago. Nothing seen moving in there since. It always makes me wonder - what has happened to his mother in law, and why isn't she moving anymore... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yenn Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Look at it with a positive spin. I think it as the Longest Night. I suppose it depends upon who you spend it with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allowera Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 In my experience men generally get on well with their mothers-in-law because they are happy to see their daughters married. However, the man's mother rarely sees the wife as good enough for her son. I suspect that the mother-in-law jokes could be based on sarcasm. Or not.:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
