A less than meritous post

So my MIL came home from the nursing home, and the boyz stopped by to see her & go fishing w/ grandpa. It was a pleasant visit, until she asked me what my dress size is:

MIL (screeching): "What dress size do you wear?"

K: "Ardith, I'm not going to announce my dress size!"

MIL (still screeching): "Well, I need to know, NOW!"

K: "Why do you need to know that?" (kari knows full well why she needs to know)

MIL: "They have these lovely denim jumpers at Christopher & Banks ... not too long either. They're just beautiful."

K (cringing internally): "Sounds nice."

MIL: "If I get you an extra large, will that be big enough?"

K: "Oh, I'm sure that would be perfect."

I'm hoping she includes the gift receipt.

1. I am not into denim too much.
2. I *really* am not into jumpers, period.
3. Christopher and Banks is waaay too wholesome for me. I don't wear teacher clothes.
4. Yeah, I'm an 18 ... and a C&B XL = a size 14.
5. Does she have to screech?
