Transcript:
Cathy (from phone): My in-laws are driving us crazy with our dogs, mom! Mom: They're spoiling them like dad and I do?? Cathy (from phone): WORSE! Mom: Worse than sneaking them dog treats? Cathy (from phone): WAY worse! Mom: Worse than slipping them table scraps?? Cathy (from phone): YOU just overfeed them! THEY dress them! Fix their hair! Push them in strollers! And rent dog movies for them! Another set of doting parents, tormented by the classic: Mom: WE COULD HAVE DONE SO MUCH MORE!!

Ahh, I finally figured out the psychology of Irving’s parents! It’s not the dogs…what they really want are grandkids to dress and brush and push in strollers.

Well Jor-El, they’re not going to get them by smothering Cathy and Irving every minute, stealing their bedroom and never giving them any privacy.

Maybe Irving & Cathy should give both sets of parents an ultimatum: “Give us our space if you ever hope to have grandchildren.”
10-1 they’d get the parents out of their hair & house.

funnyfan, it’s actually kind of true. How can you get down to creating the little ankle-biters with mom and dad around?
Once again, I thank GOD my inlaws live on the other side of the state, and I thank God my mother couldn’t care less if she gets grandkids or not.

OldPossum: Thank you. I’m not responsible for either the dog or the wig or both. It’s much cuter than Roland Hedley.
