In which Spouseman trolled my FIL

Post by Thoughtful »

Dude.

Remember a few days ago I posted a concern about Spouseman and boundaries with his toxic parents?

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3380

FILs birthday happened, and I ignored it. The ILs had cake sent to our house, which my teenagers ate but called it a bribe.

Anyway, Spouseman went over with a gift for FIL.

The backstory is that at Christmas, "Santa" left me a nice thermos. I have always wanted one because it's nostalgic to being 6 years old, and drinking hot chocolate out of my mom's big green thermos. FIL saw it and made a snide remark about me using it for coffee, which at the time, I was not partaking of. It really hurt my feelings, I'd bought it for sentiment and soup at work, but of course they think "the worst" of me.

I asked Spouseman what he got his dad for his birthday? A thermos like mine, which he explained to FIL was "for keeping coffee hot or cold brew cold."

Happy Birthday FIL.

What was the inlaws reaction to this thermos gift?
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

Uh... probably a little hot under the collar or maybe a really cold reception?

Thermos humor?
A blonde notices that her coworker has a thermos, so she asks him what it's for. He responds, "It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold."

The blonde immediately buys one for herself. The next day, she goes to work and proudly displays it.

Her coworker asks, "What do you have in it?"
Knock, knock!
Who’s there?
Thermos.
Thermos who?
Thermos be a better knock-knock joke than this.
what do you call a tattoo of a thermos? A thermostat!
