Writers’ Paradise

My mother-in-law isn’t a very talkative person, in fact her every action is fraught with elliptical use of words. She talks fine with her husband or sons. Its only the daughter-in laws who are kept at bay. My parents have been to our house only a couple of times, but mother-in law doesn’t even speaks to them, let alone make a conversation.
I remember, as a new bride, I used to try to make small talk with my mother-in law, but she never responded. Sometimes she talked only about her past and how she suffered on the hands of her in-laws and husband. Imagine, a new bride trying to fit in a new family by making conversations to a mother- in law who isn’t ready to listen or to speak. Its very awkward when two people are in one room and they don’t talk for hours.
