My mother didn’t care for my first wife. Our first Xmas after getting married, the box they shipped our gifts in via UPS (my dad was a doctor) had in big bold letters on each side, “DISPOSABLE VAGINAL SPECULUMS”…it didn’t go over well with the missus.

My first wife and my mother had a bit of a confrontation at my daughter’s wedding in 2000. The ex, mother of the bride, had been divorced from me for 21 years at the time and was married to my evil brother Judas, er, Dan. Hardshell Baptist hypocrite that she was, she had gotten tipsy on wine at the reception, so she went up to my mother and said, “Mom, I get the idea sometimes that you don’t really like me!”
My mother looked at her in amazement and said, “Well, no shit, Jean! Twenty-seven years and you’re just now figuring this out?”
The ex did not burst into tears but she did go away and pout for a while, a blessing to all concerned.
