Thanks Jennifer for your insider view on this. I like to be playful but often it's a matter of perspective!

Lovely play on words, and enjoyed the old, (not to me) joke.
Found ,by experience, that it is even more difficult to be, in particular, a mother in law. Keep up the goodwork, Jennifer

Thanks for reading and liking Holden.

Thanks Stephen A. I remember an old joke asking the difference between outlaws and inlaws, the answer being that outlaws are wanted. That was in the back of my mind!

Graham, I think there is often a sort of guardedness in mingling on the inlaw footing; sometimes a halo and a crucifix can help.
Glad you liked it !

I'm glad that worked for you Stephen G. It's that desire for a rhyming ending always has me trying.

Never was a truer line spoken than the last, Ray.

I think I've been lucky with my in-laws although we do keep them at arms length. A little but not too often. By the way this is clever stuff Ray.
