My Father-In-Law

Alright. It is no secret that I am married, and that I adore my wife. It should be noted, however, that I will be meeting my Father-In-Law for the first time in just over a week. How can this be?! Simple, the man is in China. I met him once, technically, on FaceTime. This was when I first started to date his daughter. The man did not acknowledge my presence. I mean, legitimately ignored me. I get it. I'm the Western White Devil that stole his daughter's heart. But after a year of marriage, the man has to crack. A lot of people think I am lying, when I say that my father-in-law is not fond of me. To lay those doubts to rest, I would like to share a story. This was what my Father-In-Law told my Mother-In-Law, who told my wife, who translated to me. My Father-In-Law described me as thus:


You know how it is when you're driving down the road, and your car starts running low on gas? Suddenly you see a gas station on the side of the road, and you decide to stop. You take the opportunity to fill your car and think, "Man, I could sure use a beer." So you go into the gas station, and you look at the beer selection. Sure enough, they have Bud Light. You really want that Bud Light, so you grab it and pay for the beer and gas.

Later on, you are back, driving down the road. You are listening to your favorite songs, and think, "I'll have that beer now." You crack open the beer, excited for your Bud Light, and take a long, hard pull off it. And what happens? You find out that you ended up with a PBR, instead. So you're sitting there, driving down the road, looking at the beer in your hand, and you think, "...huh...". After all, you wanted a beer.....and you have one.....but it's not quite what you wanted. You were excited for the Bud Light, and instead have a PBR. You've already opened it....so you can't really take it back. And so you got what you want.....sorta. And you might as well enjoy the PBR....because that's what you're stuck with.
