The Well Mannered New Daughter-In-Law

I don't usually read forwarded emails let alone share it. However, this one is too hillarious to let it pass. Received this from a friend recently and I wish to share it with you.
It says that, it is a myth that when a son gets married and a new daughter-in-law arrives in the family, everything changes. Some daughters-in-law are well trained and well mannered.... they don't come to change the family.

A new wife was being welcomed at the husband's home in a traditional manner. As expected she gave a speech:

'My dear family, I thank you for welcoming me in my new home and family. Firstly, my being here does not mean that I would want to change your way of life, your routine . No, I will never do that, never in a million years. I was brought up very strictly to respect my new home rules and their way of daily life.'

'What do you mean my child?' asked the father-in-law.

'What I mean dad is (looking at her in-laws);

Those who used to wash the dishes must carry on washing them.
Those who used to do the laundry must carry on doing it.
Those who cooked should not stop at my account, AND
Those who used to clean should continue cleaning!!!
'And what are you here for?' enquired the mother-in-law incredulously!

''I'M HERE JUST TO ENTERTAIN YOUR SON!!!!!'

Hahahahahaha...this is a damn good one. People always think when they have daughter in-laws in their family, they feel that they all can now push the responsibilities to the new daughter in-laws.....

LOL! Glad you enjoyed the humour. It sure is funny if we place ourselves in the DIL's shoes, at least until we stepped into the MIL's shoes. Then what, change the rules? Hehehe...
