Rita's Rants n Raves

Now let me just start out by saying that I do love my in-laws, I truly do, but there are times when I just wish they would just back off! I did warn my DH that I was writing about his parents, so this should not come as a surprise to him, actually once he reads this ( I know he will) he will probably post a rant about my parents which is fine with me. We all know that parents can drive us crazy at times. So....... here is my rant.

I ran out to the office yesterday morning so when I got back I noticed (2 hours later) that someone had called and left a message, I check the caller ID and see that it was the I-L's, so I listen to the message and my FIL says, "just me calling to let you know that there was a recall that we saw last night on the news about Mexican food, so call me back. They always do this when there is a recall on something, they call me immediately after they hear about the recalls.
So I call them back, and my MIL answers, she says " well on the news they recalled tor-till-us, I cringed because of how she pronounces the word. I said oh you mean torrrrrrrrr teeeeeeeee as, as it is pronounced and she said yes. OK!! I asked well what kind of tortillas? She says what do you mean? I proceed to tell her that not only are there different kinds of tortillas but there are also different name brands. She says well gee I don't know, I guess the recalled the flat kind. URGH!!!!!! I don't have time for this, is what I have screaming in my head. THE FLAT KIND? WTF!!!!!! I said ALL TORTILLAS ARE FLAT. She says well no there not, you guys have the taco shells! THOSE ARE CALLED TACO SHELLS NOT TORTILLAS!!!!!!! at this point I was laughing and yet still frustrated because they always call with half ass information. So she goes and asks my FIL and he says gee I dont know what kind. OK! I am done with this conversation, I tell her that I watched the news the night before as they did, but because I didn't watch channel 7 that was the reason I didn't hear about it. Well I respond back by stating that if something is recalled ALL CHANNELS will report about it. Well my FIL checks the internet to find out that the company DEL REY was the one who recalled their products. Ok well I don't buy Del REY because the stores out here do not sell DEL REY products. MIL dearest continues to say well it's not only those tor till us but all their products. AGAIN I tell her not to worry because I DO NOT BUY DEL REY PRODUCTS! 45 minutes on the phone with them about this subject. I went through the same thing with them when they recalled spiniach. I kept telling then that we do not eat spiniach and that was not good enough for them because they kept on and on about it. There are times when I enjoy their company, I know that they love me and all the kids but man one day I am going to snap because they are paranoid beyond paranoid. I am sure that my MIL didn't sleep at all knowing that there was Mexican items recalled and pulled from the stores.
So if you are interested in my inlaws please feel free to respond to my rant:
