Why God created brother-in-laws

I got in trouble this past Sunday......At church......By my Pastor......

Reason: "It was Jake!!!!"

Explanation: I had been sick for about two weeks....which meant no singing for me. So this past Sunday was the first time in several days that I had actually sung....and I was rather enjoying it. Now, let me explain that I really do try to "tone it down" when I am singing with people. While education is wonderful....it does have its disadvantages in the singing realm....You see, you never seem to blend in after you have received years of vocal training. So I can honestly say that I think I was singing WITH everyone and not ABOVE everyone.

But oh no. That wasn't good enough. As I shared the book with my sister, suddenly a voice shouted, "Can it....you're singing too loud." Yeah. It was my brother-in-law. And as if that wasn't enough, the next thing I knew, he was imitating my singing. Then he started sliding. Then he tried singing like an opera singer.

So of course my sister and I were trying very hard not to laugh while Jake didn't even split a grin.

Later that night.....my pastor walked up to me and said, "What was all the smurking this morning." All I could say was, "It was Jake." To which Pastor replied, "And what was he doing." And I said, "Singing." Which of course brought laughter.

But as if that was not enough.....Wednesday night after church, I walked out to get in my car....remember, Vlad the Vibe. And from several feet off, as plain as day, the windshield wiper was sticking straight out. It had all the markings of a Jake-fiasco. Someone walking buy kindly acknowledged Vlad, "I see that hand."

So as you read the evidence....it is clear to see that God created Brother-In-Laws as a mere excuse to irritate, infuriate, shall I dare say humiliate those barely belonging to the family through the right of marriage. Shocking! Sigh! And yet.....a bit of a Chuckle!
