I was going to talk about Thanksgiving

I was going to report in on another wonderful weekend, but I just recieved the two following emails from my sister-in-law concerning things (used toys) they gifted us last night as we were leaving. Just another reason not to drink and give shit away:

 

Dear KP,
   I wasn't supposed to give you that Sanrio bag last night. Mom got upset with me. She was saving them for the next grandchildren since N is too old for them. Sorry to get to get mixed up. I think most of them were rattles (but not the flower rattle - she liked that one) Please hold on to them for when we go see you this Christmas. Thanks a lot. :}    ~SIL    P.S.: Will THe Hubs make another of those N calenders? I loved mine from last year. I put it on my door. I hope he does. We all enjoyed it! :}

 

(FYI, I made those calendars. I want to tell her that, but I don't want to write back)

 

 Hey again. Mom seems especially attached to the wooden rattle. May have been in the family for several generations. If you could just make sure it stays safe somewhere that would be very appreciated. Thanks again!  ~SIL           

 

 (FYI, I doubt the rattle is that old, it probably has gone to shit like everything else in their house)
 

SOOOOOOO, I guess the question now...(1) do I write back? (2) do I tell her to shut her face and it was a gift and I am not returning shit? (3) Do i ignore her emails and pretend to not know anything about them?  I am sure MIL has already called The Hubs and complained about all this already.

  1. These people are crazy. Amazingly crazy. Are you not special enough to have the sacred rattle?

  2. Play dumb! When you get caught, just rock one little innocent phrase:

    "Oh! Those emails must have gone to my spam box. I never saw them!"

    Blame everything on the internet and spam mail. It always works. Except when it's actually TRUE. Then you feel like a huge douche.
