| Another MIL story - only this one's funny I am trying very hard to get along with my mother in law these days. She is doing myself and DH a HUGE favor by picking the kids up from school 2- 3 days a week. I am extremely grateful for that and have told her so. I know she gets lonely there by herself just like I do here. So today I suggested we go and get lunch. The subject of my going back to school came up. The conversation went like this: MIL: What are you going to be studying in school? Me: Well, I've always wanted to be an attorney so I'm going to aim for that. MIL: That's like a lawyer, isn't it? Me: Yes, it is. MIL: What kind of lawyer do you want to be? Me: I really want to go into civil rights law. (This is where it gets funny) MIL: What? I thought that civil war was over already! Me: It is. It ended quite a few years ago I believe. MIL: And they're still fighting about it? Me: Well, in some areas of the south I'm sure they are (I was being a smart@ss), but I'm sure for the most part its over and done with. MIL: Well, you aren't going to make any money in that then! Keeping a straight face during that conversation was THE hardest thing I have ever done! You know, I can't even dislike her anymore. I think I finally understand that she is just a very simple person who is truly naive in the ways of the world. Nothing she has said about Susanah or "blood relations" bothers me anymore. I can't explain it, I just can't be angry with her right now. Maybe I'm in shock....

It actually took me a few seconds to respond after she brought up the civil war. She probably thinks *I* am the one who isn't the brightest crayon in the box.

| You know, it really is sad. I mean, the conversation was funny. But still sad. I can not imagine living my entire life in one very very very tiny town (there are two red lights here and it was a battle and a half to get the vote passed to put in the second one) and knowing absolutely nothing about the world beyond its borders. Not even questioning what else is out there.
