We are in the middle of preparing a family meal when my MIL, out of the blue, leans over and whispers, 'I don't like the smell of sperm.'
Extremely confused and sure I haven't heard her correctly I say, 'Wha??'
'SPERM!' she whispers louder.
i just shook my head and took in the uncomfortable silence that followed.

I meant to say in my original post that NO I DID NOT SMELL OF SPERM!!!!

Is she going senile - perhaps, likely!!

She DOES have an accent, maybe she did say spam?!

I dunno, all I can say is I can't look at my FIL without wondering about his funky spunk.

Have you in a conversation with someone else in the past mentioned liking the smell of it, where your MIL could have overheard? Something like that?

No, no, I had never talked to MIL about sperm or to anyone.
Maybe superspecs nailed it - granny got some before tea.

I think it's official that I have the strangest MIL! I thought this thread might start some other MIL stories that would make this one seem ok. shit.

I would have talked to her about it, I'm always interested to know what the older generation really think and feel about sex stuff. I have gathered from a recent conversation that I was right in my assumption that I am indeed a very lucky woman to be born into my generation.

Well on the bright side (after desperately trying to think of one for you) it would have been more awkward/weird if your FIL had said it Grin
