Sometimes you wish you had never asked

Yesterday while at my in-laws the following conversation took place. My sister-in-law had just arrived and asked what most people would consider to be an easy question.


Sister-in-law (SiL): I am thirsty can I have a bottle of water?

Mother-in-law (MiL): No, no you don't want a bottle of water, the water from my tap is filtered it is just as good.

SiL: Umm, ok, is it cold?

MiL: Well no, but you can put some ice in it. Don't worry the ice is filtered water as well from the fridge.

SiL: Can't I just use the water from the fridge if it is filtered?

MiL: No, don't do that the use the water from the tap.

SiL: *Gets glass down* Well they should be the same so I will get it from the fridge.

*Everyone has now chimed in and half are chanting fridge and the others are chanting from the tap*

SiL: Fine, fine I will get some from both

My Husband: Don't do that the water from the filter at the sink is hot water.

SiL: What?!!

MiL: *about to have a heart attack* NO, NO, that water is cold he is making that up.

SiL: Finally gets the water in the glass and sits down. *The water is in a decorative cup* EWWW this water is BROWN!

MiL: What?!! No that can not be.

Me: I think the cup is making the water look brown.

MiL: My water is white not brown, here let me get a different glass I will show you.

Me: Ummm..wouldn't white water really be no fat milk?

MiL: *Pours water into different glass* See I told you my water is not brown, it is white.

Me: I kinda think it is clear not white

MiL: Whatever

My SiL sits down to drink her white water and my MiL says.....

We have bottled water in the outside cooler.

Hot!

It is hot here..no I mean really really hot. Yesterday we braved the heat to do some furniture shopping for Maddy. We found something she really liked and we approved off at the second place we looked, but we wanted to look at one more place before making the final decision. After walking in the heat across HUGE parking lots we just got hotter and hotter, the small amounts of time in the furniture store was not enough to cool us off. As we headed back to the second store to purchase what Maddy wanted the following conversation took place.

Mark: Maddy where is the hottest place you have ever been?

Maddy: (without hesitation) Austin, Texas

Mark: Hmmm..really

Maddy: Yep

Mark: When were you in Austin?

Maddy: I was born there!

Mark: O.K. How do you know this is the hottest place you have been?

Maddy: Cause I was born there and I heard it was really hot there. I know things...

Mark: Well ok, but I asked the hottest place you have been, not heard about.

Maddy: Here, ok , right here, right now in Houston..this is the hottest I have ever been!

Mark: Thought so...
