I hadn’t planned on staying that long. I’d just brought my grandma in for some tests, and we were supposed to be out by noon. But then the lab was backed up, her pressure dipped a little, and before I knew it, we were on hour five in the waiting room. She got cold, even though it wasn’t cold in there.

When my MIL Sandra turned 60, she threw a “classy” family dinner and assigned dishes. Her daughters brought wine. I got a five-course gourmet list—everything from scratch. I cooked for two days straight. Lasagna with homemade pasta, falafel, caprese skewers, and a lemon-blueberry bundt cake. Exhausted but proud, I delivered the food. Then, during the party, guests raved about the dishes. Sandra beamed—and took all the credit. Again.
