Mother-in-Law Issues

I forgot to say, if we ever called her hand on something she was telling us, she would say, "girl, its true, its true, you KNOW its true!!!!!!" and to this day, we use that, especially on me because I have a tendency to embelish a dull story....a cousin will say, Judy, are you sure it happened like that?...and I will laugh back and say that old Aunt Bert phrase...ABSOLUTELY!!! IT'S TRUE, IT'S TRUE, YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE!!!!

that's great that you can joke about it though. But I know exactly what you mean about filling in the blanks!
