Well here it is. My MIL is not going to get an ereader anytime soon. At least not from us, and that means nobody else is going to even think about getting her one either. I have to say that it is not a bad thing for us. My wife, and in extension me, has always been the black sheep - it will never change. Nothing we do is ever good enough. Why did you do that, why didn't you do this. If you say that you are going to be back at 2, you better be here at 2 and not at 2:15. Except for all the white sheep she makes every excuse in the book - they are never wrong, even when they lie right into her face, even when she knows they lie, they are still so precious and perfect. She says that she does not want us to do something anymore - and when we honor her wish and tell her she needs to ask someone else to get it done, then it is our fault. As far as I am concerned she can just shove it. The only reason I am still doing anything for her is because my wife asks me too, but my wife is almost to the point that she doesn't give a hoot any more either.

My wife might be the black sheep, but the white ones don't look so white either.
