Here’s why I’m afraid. When we got engaged, my
mother-in-law told hubby he could do better than me.
Outwardly nice, she chopped off my limbs one by one.
Each time she did that, I replaced them with another made of tin.
I have a tin heart. I am The Tin Girl around her.
The Tin Woodman of Oz (Wikipedia)
Tin Man: My… mmm-my, my, my, my goodness. I can talk again!
Dorothy: Well, you’re perfect now.
Tin Man: Perfect? Oh, bang on my chest if you think I’m perfect.
Go ahead, bang on it! It’s empty. The tinsmith forgot to give me a heart. All hollow.
Script from the movie, The Wizard of Oz
“I’d be tender, I’d be gentle
and awful sentimental
regarding Love and Art.
I’d be friends with the sparrows
and the boy who shoots the arrows
if I only had a heart.”
Lyric from the movie, The Wizard of Oz
Today we’re coming home from Kansas!!! Real-time
Encore Seraphine updates begin again this weekend! HUGS!
Your mother in law is an idiot. Your hubby is brilliant. Is that too frank?
dear heart,
click your heels and head for home. gary’s correct.
Home is where the heart is, in your case not in the Kansas Rectangle. Welcome home.
Ouch…you have “one of those mother-in-laws”. Just from reading your comics and the comments you leave on my blog, I’d say you’re a very intellectual person with a great personality.
Don’t let one person bring you down.
Here, I found your limbs and I’m reattaching them back on you.
You must be happy and relieved for coming back home. And mother-in-laws, what to say… ew:-S Yours sounds like a real pain in the ass (excuse the expression). Hugs.
“i’ll be a friend of the sparrows..”, love that line, a poem awaits, for sure.
The more you think about, speak about the dreaded mom-in-law, the more power you give to her
and her energy.
Your mother is law seems to be quite a character. Would she look like the witch in Cinderalla? Snow White?
Hope she doesn’t browse blogs anyway
Otherwise, she might cut some more arms!
At least the heel-clicking thing worked, right?
A. Decker. I’m home. After a 5 hour wait in Denver!
Cynthia. I like that, about not giving her the power. Because it’s true.
Gary. She isn’t an idiot. But she *is* opinionated.
Ras. I brought more good memories home than bad.
Romeika. I’m sooo happy to be home, I thought about kissing the ground in San Francisco.
Secret Agent. Thank you!
Susan. click click click click
Zhu. Ohhh I hope she doesn’t read blogs. She doesn’t seem the type.
whooo Sera, so glad you’re back. There’s something not totally bad about tin hearts.
They don’t bleed.
Tell your “momma-in-law”
Oh! I love this one! You are amazing!
I’m glad you are back!
