As noted in another, longer post: this last weekend my sister came to stay with another, older, woman named Cheryl. However, there was one piece of information that we didn't pick up on until last night.

Bringing a potential husband to meet your family is one thing.

But bringing the potential mother-in-law instead? So it seems - it looks like my sister has her cap set at Cheryl's son.

If the alliance between mother- and daughter-in-law is this close, I really pity the poor potential groom. He won't have a chance.
