A twist to that question

How many women marry men that are like their dads?

My MIL is not bad looking, but her personality is by far so far away from me. DH is glad for that too. He gets exacerbated talking with her.

Same here, but with a Southern twist -
Some young child grinning from ear to ear shouts in his hillbilly accent that I can barely understand (and I transcribe plenty of ESLs!) why one should buy cars from his dad. I want to tell them I might if I could understand something besides every tenth word...Brother!

A twist off topic, but that's the opposite of my MIL
She wouldn't return anything, and expects no one else to, EVER. She cuts all the tags off and then claims to have forgotten where she bought things. She has even gone so far as to cut the size tags out of gifts. She once whispered to my husband, "I had to buy her an extra large, so I cut the tag out. I didn't want to embarrass her." That was for a robe she bought me when I was pregnant. Believe me, I knew what size I was! I hate to have her spend money that goes to waste on things that just don't fit, for example. Those could be simple returns, but she won't give gift receipts or even say which store she bought the gift at. I've given up. I appreciate the thought of the gift, but if something doesn't fit, I just donate it to the next clothing drive that passes by. Someone will use it.
