Very Short Story

[eman]

never met my MIL she passed acouple years before i met the wife.
Now My FIL was another story. Old country dude that had no real school education.
could build a house from pencil drawings. We were up at his place visiting one sunday and the wife said something smart arsed to me . He told us to sit down and he looked me in the eye and told me. Son you have my permission to knock the smart out of here if she don't act right.
I would never hit a woman but everytime she says something smart arsed i remind her of what her daddy said. I tried to get him to move in w/ us when he got sick but he refused to leave his home. he died right where he wanted to be.
