MIL Gone Wild

“I was looking in your desk drawer for some photographs I thought might be there, but I was surprised to find… naked pictures of your mom in there and I am just wondering how you can explain this to me.”  My wife smiled at me and told me that I was not meant to see them and that she should have been more careful with those pictures.  My wife Donna said, “Remember when my mom got divorced and she said that my dad was tracking everything she did, so she asked if she could join our cell phone plan and we got her a new phone.  We happily agreed to help her because my dad was treating her so badly and I set up a new email account for her.  She didn’t have a laptop at that time, so I became the administrator of her account, and I gave her the username for her to use and her password, because she wasn’t very proficient at working with computers.  When she finally got her own laptop, I set her up as an administrator for her account also.”

I told my wife that I was happy that her mom got away from her dad and that she has email and her own cell phone, but that does not explain the naked pictures.  Donna said, “The other day I was cleaning out my email and I saw that below all of my messages and my folders, that my mom’s email was still listed, and I figured that I would check out her messages to see if they might need to be cleaned up also.  I opened up a few of her sent files that had attachments on them that she had sent to her new boyfriend.  I was staring at all kinds of nude pictures of her, where she looked pretty sexy, so I printed a few of them out, figuring that I should talk to her about this.  I needed the pictures so she wouldn’t lie to me about having taken them.”  I told Donna that she has to tell her mom that she should stop doing this, as who knows what will happen to these pictures if she breaks up with her new boyfriend.  I then said, “Your mom does look kind of sexy and I hope that you don’t think that I am weird for saying that.  Before you talk with your mom, we should probably check out her email to see if she sent any more pictures of herself to her boyfriend.”  My wife told me not to be such a pig and that I was going to be in the doghouse for making that comment.
