TFOG and I had dinner with my folks this evening, as they were in town for a night.
When with my parents, TFOG always waits for the moment my mother will do/say something that pisses her off. Tonight it came with my mother "reminding me" that I (we) owed her money for another meal we'd had out a month or two back. We'd had a weekend in my folks' town and agreed to drive them back to Sydney and stop along the way for a country lunch they'd wanted to try for a while. I would drive and not drink any wine at the lunch.
On the day, TFOG had wanted us to pay for the meal but we were told not to. So I wasn't expecting to be told that we owed money for it. I'd forgotten the details, and anyway I'd been willing to pay for tonight's meal. But TFOG was incensed, although she didn't show it until later.
In-laws, eh?
