Ever get a backrub from your mother-in-law?

Intrigued? Mortified? I suppose that depends on the old lady.

My wife's mom is back in school to become a massage therapist and apparently, in Canada, that requires a very intensive 2-yr course that isn't for the faint of heart or lazy of butt. I guess she has a good heart and firm gluts.

She needs some people to work on, and naturally, I couldn't refuse a free massage. For those of you who need to focus, the important word in the last sentence was free. I don't spend money, at least not on purpose.

However, there is a cost I didn't consider; a price which may make the weak shutter. Me, I just thought, "Well, she's gonna see my butt crack some day. Why not while she's rubbing my half-naked body with soft and smooth mineral oils." I felt like a greek king...well, at least a greek king who gets oiled up. I suppose some grapes would have been more appropriate.

Some bridges in-laws never really get an opportunity to cross. Not me, we paid that toll proudly and in the process I learned more about human anatomy, relaxing in a cold basement, and my coccyx.

Got any stories with your mammy-in-law to top this one?
