My friend who lives in UK telephoned me some months ago, it was a casual call, she keeps calling me once in 3 to 5 months.
We usually exchange a lot of things ignoring the fact that we are on ISD calls. She told me that her Parents in law visited her place in the recent past(My friend is an Indian and her husband is a slovenian). My friend began, she said ," you know I derived a theory after my Parents in law's visit". she continued, When my MIL stepped in, she looked at the house and pointed at the dining table which was at the corner of the house and told me "dont you think that the Dining table could be placed some where else than here ?, my friend replied politely with a grin " I like the way it is ......".
Then... all of them were having lunch and her MIL started again "I think we can change the dining table's location", my friend did nt say anything and was little discomfortable, seeing her discomfortable, her FIL came to her rescue and told her MIL something in their native language and her MIL kept quite and they finished their lunch.
My friend said, "you know Subha, the outcome of my thesis is " East or West MIL is a MIL " .
I completly agree with her :)
