She slams the phone down and shouts to her husband, “she’s on her way we have two hours”. Her head is whirling. What to do first?

The ironing must disappear. Quickly she opens the cupboard and throws it in. What next. Puff up the cushions, wiz around the kitchen, and the bathroom? There isn’t enough time she needs help.

“Where are you?” she shouts at her husband.

“I’m just making a space for her brooms…. he laughs.

The panic is taking over. The doorbell rings, “Hello Mum” he says smiling.

This is not going to end well for him later.

    It probably does in most households. When I read it back to my husband he just "smiled" haha, that says it all.

    Haha! Yeah, I can imagine the pain of his mother-in-law visiting is nothing compared to what his wife is going to do to him for that little comment. Reminds me of an oldie by Ernie K-Doe called "Mother-In-Law."
