Every Sunday her husband took her to his parents house. So clean and tidy with
everything in place the abode was lifeless, like a scene in a furniture store
showroom. She sat in her chair with her knees together and ankles crossed,
listening to her husband’s family struggle to find inane topics to create
conversation. His mother, a chronic passive-aggressive, would find ways to
secretly state an opinion (typically discouraged, opinions were), which was
usually uneducated and distasteful.
Every Sunday for many years her husband took her to his parents house and expected her to act like a lady out of respect of his mother’s watchful eye which was quick to find faults to criticize.
Every Sunday she held her tongue, and learned to be demurely subversive.

Exactly how I’m feeling these days! Thank you, Sara!
Yep, I feel like this a lot of days too. It’s one of my favorite magnets! Thanks, Cindy.
Oh, I love it. If only I were so brazen to wear that… 😉
This bottle cap is a magnet, so you could descretely put it on your refrigerator amidst all the other magnets you have there. (I just assume everyone has magnet-covered refrigerators.) I make this bottle cap as a pin too – let me know when you become brazen enough for one. 😉
I will. I am one of the few people who has a refrigerator clear of stuff. I don;’t have knick knacks, either. I guess I’m a minimalist and a sissy! 😉 But I love that image SO much. How much is it?
For you, honey, I’d let it go for $2.25 (regularly $3 in my shop). It’s the shipping that will kill you at $2.10. If you want one for real, pin or magnet, send me an e-mail at auntiebswax4u@yahoo.com with your mailing information and I’ll let you know how to go about paying.
It’s so unBuddhist of me, but… 😉
Hey look, Lorna! Here’s your chance to get the magnet (or pin) (or anything else you like) for free! New blog post features an Auntie B’s Wax give-away. Check it out: https://auntiebswax.com/2013/03/29/happy-anniversary-to-me/
Thanks so much! I just commented over there! 🙂
I’m demurely submissive sometimes with people I think will judge me for telling more of the “truth”. It’s a gift when we can speak, no matter what people think. (Although it feels right to speak in a kind way, then.) Lovely post, Sara.
