A joke too far
The Wife: I got an email from Dede.
Me: yeah?
The Wife: "We have a beach house on Fripp Island, South Carolina for the first two weeks in July. We have plenty of room the first week and would love for you to join us. The island is beautiful, has four pools, oceanfront house and we’ll cook lots of good food!! There is a 4th of July parade and I’m sure Sam would win the cutest baby contest!! Of course our Riley will give him a run for his money on best hair!! Think about it!!! See you at the wedding!!
Me: I think this is all part of an elaborate plot for mom and de de to steal their grandchildren. I think they have some sort of airship docked on Fripp Island and will use this parade and baby contest as some sort of distraction to load up and launch.
The Wife: ha. but really, I'm going to respond with a thanks for the invitation and we'll talk about it but it mostly depends on our job situation.
Me: yeah, it's best not to let them know we're on to them
The Wife: seriously...is that okay with you?
Me: Sure. But we should poke around mom's house for receipts for canned food and hydrogen
Me: Just to be safe
