My husband, son, and I went to the lake this weekend with the in-laws. I usually dread going to the lake because: 1. The guys drink from the time they get there until they pass out at night 2. Football, baseball, or some other sport is on the TV the ENTIRE time 3. until recently my child screams and throws a fit while on the boat because he hates wearing a life jacket 4. while the guys are drinking, smoking, and watching sports, I am trying to entertain my son while my MNL shares never-ending negative information about the latest news/economic situation or whatever other black clouds are hanging over her head. So, I admit that while packing to go to the lake for the weekend inevitably puts me in a bad mood.
Last weekend my husband and son were in a car accident. Thankfully, they were not hurt. My husband's truck on the other hand was totalled. My husband works with his dad and brother and they have their own company. On Friday, my husband pulled in our drive-way with a brand new, very expensive truck. I asked him how we were going to afford it and he said that his dad got it for him and it is a "work truck". Great! My husband wants me to help him write a really nice thank-you note (his mom is BIG on the thank-you notes) and I was going to bake his dad's favorite pie to show our appreciation. After all, how many parents buy their fully grown sons a brand-new truck after wrecking the one they have? Nice right? WRONG! At the lake, my brother-in-law's new girlfriend told my husband that she loves his new truck. My father-in-law pipes in, "that is MY truck". He proceeded to let us ALL know that my husband's new truck does not belong to us; it belongs to him. Can we just give it back and get one of our own that actually belongs to us!? I was so embarrassed. Screw the thank you note and pie!
