To think my fil is a t***

Watching a cartoon with the kids. One of the male characters puts on (actually sort of steals) a little girl's shoes. He commented 'oh no he's put on girl's shoes, pink with hearts'. Then later he fell off or was hit or something and he said 'serves him right for wearing girls shoes'. I'm sure it's directed at my ds 5. I just really wanted to tackle him on it but didn't (wimp). I mean no mention of stealing or hitting not being right, the most heinous crime is obviously the boy wearing pink shoes. Just take me back to the 1950's. Couldn't be arsed or didn't have the energy to fall out over it with fil or dh, he is not the easiest character at the best of times. So I just tolerate his massive flaws and welcome his good bits, of which there are some.

I think my dh said something. He really wasn't Cody. He made no other comments and he wasn't hit because of the shoes in the cartoon but because of something else completely so fil was completely ad libbing to show his disapproval of a boy wearing pink.
