E-mail from my MIL

and I quote:

Sarah, According to today's Toronto Star, women, who have morning sickness during pregnancy have children with higher I.Q Thought you might just want to know that it was worth barfing for. Love Judy

How exactly am I meant to respond?

Gee Judy, Thanks, Up until this point I really thought that Bad and the Princess were a waste of my time. I was really regretting having been such a sucker and putting up with that morning sickness for what were potentially sub-standard children. Thank you for putting my mind at ease,

Would that be a bit too bitchy??

Do what I do with my MIL and just ignore it.

Oh my goodness!

I think you should take Jen's advice and ignore the MIL. What a strange email.....

Nice.

Thanks for checking in with me. Miss you my friend, I have not been venturing into bloggy land much lately...

Okay... that's weird! What a crazy study anyway.

I would ignore it too ... "Oh, I never got that e:mail, server must have been down..."

That's so funny! I got the exact same story from my MIL over lunch yesterday... she told me to go tell my son Bill that he's going to have an IQ since I was sick with him...

You could tell MIL that it's good to know where the children got their high IQ's from because you were certain it wasn't from her?

I'm sure she's just trying to help. Remember, you too will be a Mother in law, someday... :)

LOL, your MIL was joking, right?
Right?
That is one sick woman.

big laughter coming from here! those darn MIL's eh.

Lori said...

Send her a full barf bag?

Aunt Becky said...

Delete, delete, delete. But that's just me. I get depressing emails about how much better off I have it than the rest of the world.

Uplifting stuff, I tell you.

And Ali's answer is cracking me up.

(laughing) -- I can't think of a thing to say other than to laugh at her and then maybe barf a little on her shoes next time you see her.
