The Surprise Visit

My mother-in-law called me yesterday and said, “I’m coming over for dinner tonight. I hope you don’t mind.”
I replied, “Of course not! You’re always welcome.”
When she arrived, she immediately started inspecting the house like a health inspector. After ten minutes she says, “The kitchen is a mess, the living room needs vacuuming, and those curtains are from 2017 — very outdated.”
I smiled and said, “You know, when I married your daughter, I took her for better or worse… but I didn’t realize it included her mother’s unsolicited interior design service.”
She looked at me and said, “Well, someone has to maintain standards in this family.”
I answered, “You’re right. That’s why I married your daughter — she has excellent taste… she chose me.”
