Gifts from in-laws came
Daughter was upset again
Junk toys, handmade robes
Hand sewn robes, I say!
Made by hand but not with love
Too big, seams fall out
No measurements, 'kay?
My husband's would fit Jabba
Mine is atrocious
Why send gifts like that?
Insulting and not pretty
Trying to hurt us?
Good money wasted
Add these to the bad gifts list
Thanks for the laugh, lady!

So, it happened again; the old bag, I mean my MIL sent her annual boxes of crap and insults. This time it was homemade robes. Ugh! Too big, badly sewn, U-G-L-Y. What's more to say? I know, it's the thought that counts. But, in this case, is it? Did she make them to be nice or insinuate my husband and I were the size of UPS trucks? Honestly, though, when I made RxMan try on his (above), I freakin' peed my pants from laughing. Honest!
Happy Holidays from me to you and yours!
Go see more Haiku fun here!

ReplyDeleteSorry about those gifts...ewww.
I swear to GAWD Toni, I'm actually sitting here giggling (at your expense, I know - I'm sorry - but what great blog fodder). What the hell was she (NOT) thinking? This might be the funniest post I've read ... ever.
ReplyDeleteSo do you secretly laugh at the gifts just for a nano-second? Damn those IL's.
And may I add that his facial expression is farking priceless. You so need to make this your blog banner graphic. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh that is funny. That is really funny.
ReplyDeleteAt first I didn't realize it was a robe? I thought it was some wierd hunting disguise or something? I don't know.
Merry Christmas!

Oh - that picture is so funny - what on earth was she thinking? A UPS truck = ACK!! Have a great day. Kellan
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Gawd. Wow. Interesting. Holiday Inn bedspread. Madame Butterfly. Wow. Bad Dream. So Sorry. :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, have a Merry Christmas and try not to think about it!
Wow.
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty funny, though.
Yikes.
Why don't you make her something really special with some papier mache and the kids' acrylic paints?
Oh man, that is just WRONG!
ReplyDeleteI hope the other side of the family makes up for it. Merry Chirstmas!
My 'kus
Wow. My MIL does the same thing. But I know it isn't personal because everyone in the family gets a crappy gift from her. We actually have a secret contest as to who gets the worst gift...:)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I am speechless. Sorry for that pile of yuck.
ReplyDeleteTell the MIL you peed your pants and I'll bet it's Depends next year.
ReplyDeleteOH, my gosh....that robe is hideous!
ReplyDeleteToo funny, and that you got hubby to pose in it...priceless!
