My coworker Jeff had gotten married about a month before me. He and Mike who worked in the next department over were trading mother in law stories trying to decide who had the strangest mother in law. They looked at me and I told the slipper story. “You win,” Jeff said. “At least your mother in law doesn’t do anything strange,” Mike said. “Well, she does have a dead cat in her freezer,” I said. They looked at each other much as you describe yourself waiting.
“Her cat died. It’s winter. She wants to give it a good burial.” They looked at each other, then back to me. “I will say I’m not having dinner at her place until the ground thaws,” I said. They nodded and went back to work.
