How To Freak Out Your Mother In Law..

Yesterday my daughters and I went to a carnival in our neighborhood... We had a great time... The girls hung out with their friends and I took pictures... I like to do that... Both girls won a hermit crab and goldfish... Original goldfish tally was five (5) and as of this morning... there is one (1)...

One of the booths featured at the carnival was a tattoo booth... There were people actually getting inked right there... My oldest thought they were "really cool"... I asked her if she wanted to get her picture taken with one of the tattoo artists... She of course said "yes" and he was happy to pose..... Now how did I freak out my very conservative mother in law?

I sent her this picture with an email saying this.. Hi Lois - Thought you would like to meet your oldest granddaughter's new first boyfriend... His name is Eugene and he is a sweet young man... Dusty and I just adore him and we honestly think Nikki is in love... Can't wait for you to meet him too..... See you soon. Kelly

Thankfully - my mom in law has a good sense of humor... She was happy it wasn't the other guy with the floppy ears and horns sticking out of his head.

    Eeeuw! Hopefully the relationship will not extend beyond a joke.
    Nice that you have a good relationship with your mother-in-law.

    Oh.My.Goodness!!!

    I'm glad you took a picture 'cause I don't think I could have imagine anything like that. I'm totally fine with tatoos - but I guess I'm enough of a devil that I don't want any kind of visible proof. And I don't even know what to say about ears you can put your hand through.
