The Proof Was In The Pudding, Or Was It The Cell Phone?

It was time once again to visit her mother-in-law, and she was dreading
it. On many occasions, Jenny had told her husband about her tangles with
the 'mother-in-law', but her husband had simply laughed it off, and said
"Now honey, Mom's not like that, you know she means well."

There was nothing left to do but to prove to her husband that as soon as
his mother got her alone she would start attacking her with nasty
comments, and at times she was even down right rude to her.

Jenny had tried before to get her husband to walk in on such an occasion
when the old bat thought that he was outside in the yard with his Dad.
But she had x-ray vision, as well as hearing, and wouldn’t be caught
despite the number of times that she tried.

As she left the house, she went into her bedroom, and picked it up. This
time she would get the old bat. This time she would prove to her husband
that butter only melted in his mother's mouth when he was around. Once in
the car, her husband looked over at her, asking "is that a new phone?"
Jenny smiled more to herself than to her husband, "Yes the old one was on
the blink, so I got this one, it has so many more features than the old
one," she said mysteriously.

Jenny continued to hold the cell phone in her hand all the way to the in-
laws house. Once there, they were greeted by the smiling, innocent enough
looking older couple. Her mother –in –law promptly kissed them both on
the cheek, commented how well Jenny was looking, then grabbed her son by
the arm, and commented sweetly that he was looking very thin, and herded
him toward the kitchen for a hearty lunch.
After lunch, her mother-in-law sent the 'boys'   outside, while the 'girls'
finished up the lunch dishes, and put away the   left over pudding. Jenny
had made sure that she had placed her innocent   looking cell phone on the
counter top with the top pointing toward where   they were fussing in the
kitchen.

Her mother-in-law saw her placing the cell phone on the counter top, and
commented "Beats me why you young ones feel the need to keep those pesky
things around you all of the time? I guess in your case it is to talk to
all of those men that you have on the side!" Jenny looked hurt, and
replied "Mom, you know that I'm not like that, I am happily married"

"Not for long if I have anything to do with it. You're not good enough
for my son, and I intend to get rid of you for good!" she growled
quietly, as she placed a plastic covering over the left over pudding she
had prepared for lunch.

Before Jenny had time to reply, her husband came in through the door, and
her mother-in-law's persona changed immediately as she greeted him and
then continued to fuss. A short while later, her husband suggested that
it was time to go home, and asked Jenny if she was ready to go. Jenny
smiled, and replied that she had everything that she needed as she picked
up her cell phone, and started toward the door. She stopped in mid
tracks, and turned toward her mother-in-law, "thank you for a lovely
lunch - oh, and for our special little chat while wrapping up that
pudding"

Her mother-in-law looked puzzled. But Jenny knew now that with her new
cell phone spy cam, the proof was really in the pudding, and she had
caught the old bat out this time.
