Linda had the reputation of being the hottest daughter-in-law in the neighborhood \u2014 stylish dresses, perfect makeup, and a smile that made every guy at the barbecue suddenly volunteer to grill burgers.<\/p>\n
But there was one problem:<\/p>\n
Her mother-in-law, Martha.<\/p>\n
Martha watched everything.<\/p>\n
One Friday night, Linda winked at her husband Jake and whispered:<\/p>\n
\u201cYour mom\u2019s going to her bingo night, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jake grinned.
\u201cYep. She won\u2019t be back till midnight.\u201d<\/p>\n
Linda smirked.
\u201cGood. I\u2019ve planned a very special evening.\u201d<\/p>\n
The second Martha left, Linda slipped into a tiny black satin robe, lit candles all over the living room, and turned on soft jazz music.<\/p>\n
Then she heard the front door open.<\/p>\n
Panic.<\/p>\n
\u201cMartha?!\u201d<\/p>\n
Martha walked in slowly holding her purse.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh relax,\u201d she said. \u201cI forgot my reading glasses.\u201d<\/p>\n
Linda quickly tried hiding the candles with a pillow.<\/p>\n
Martha looked around the room\u2026 then at Linda\u2019s outfit.<\/p>\n
After a long silence, Martha smiled and said:<\/p>\n
\u201cHoney\u2026 if you think this setup is going to fool Jake into doing the dishes afterward\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
She leaned closer.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026you\u2019re officially part of the family.\u201d \ud83d\ude0f<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Linda had the reputation of being the hottest daughter-in-law in the neighborhood \u2014 stylish dresses, perfect makeup, and a smile that made every guy at the barbecue suddenly volunteer to grill burgers.
