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.

LOL

madhousewife · 20/06/2011 19:41

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.

Oh FFFSSSSS, I just spat my tea all over monitor!!
Thanks OP- that gave me a much needed LMAO/PMSL!!!!

Fan-bloody-tastic!

kaid100 · 20/06/2011 20:14

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?

madhousewife · 20/06/2011 20:20

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.

Sorry OP, nothing is gonna make this right Grin

Loolah · 20/06/2011 20:23

My MIL trims her pubes with FIL's hair clippers and he don't even know.

HTH

jubilee10 · 20/06/2011 20:24

Neither do I!

LDNmummy · 20/06/2011 20:24

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.

stuffthenonsense · 20/06/2011 20:36

was rhianna's SandM on the radio???? (sex in the air, i like the smell of it)

Jonnyfan · 20/06/2011 20:39

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Priceless! I would be speechless with horror.

DurhamDurham · 20/06/2011 20:40

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

madhousewife · 20/06/2011 20:41

loolah - how do YOU know she trims with FIL's clippers? heehee!
Good god LDN - I did NOT want that conversation to continue any further....
StNonsense - do you mean sex in the air, i DON"T like the smell??? MIL is a clean freak...
