[QUOTE="Star*, post: 488560, member: 4964"] Lia, Oh for the days gone by of a mother in law like that, and to be the person I am now.....(sigh) But then that would nearly svck all the fun out of it ya know? (insert evil chortle) I refuse to do a battle of wits with an unarmed person. Why invite evil to your doorstep. (exhale with long bygone thoughts of Satans mother) ...sticks out tongue and makes very very mature face. (yeah like that hehee) If I were sitting at your table this morning, having coffee with you and you had just told me that story - I would have yanked a spatula from your counter.....jerked up my pants legs pirate style, thrown my scarf very dramatically over my shoulder and in a Shakespeare tone of voice with my foot on one of your kitchen chairs said "BE GONE Oooooooo FOUL BEAST from my hooooooooooooooome." then waived my spatula around much akin to an eppe and stabbed at your oven while shouting "BACK, BACK TO THE DEPTHS of HADES whence you came you aggregious, hideous, fell monster!!"
