The Creepy Father-In-Law-In-Law

My sister-in-law has the creepiest father. Every time he sees me, he has to hug me. And it's not an innocent hug, it's a 'come here little girl' kind of a hug. And it grosses me out. And Gavin. So whenever I see him, I try to duck getting too close to him and the obligatory hug.

But yesterday I ran into them at the grocery store. I saw him coming and quickly picked up Nicholas (in hopes of the "sorry, I'm carrying the kid right now can't give you a hug"). He waved at me. I waved back. And we passed each other. And about 3 minutes later, after I put Nicholas down, he came back with his wife. "Look, it's Shauna!" leered creepy father-in-law-in-law (we're related through 2 marriages), as if he hadn't seen me 3 minutes before. "Hi, Shauna!" oblivious mother-in-law-in-law said. She chatted with me and Nicholas a little while and I tried to keep my cart between us and them. I told them we needed to get going and turned the cart to go in the other direction when creepy father-in-law-in-law stepped up and put his arms out. I really wanted to run him over with my cart. But I've already given my sister-in-law enough reasons to not like me. So, I gave her father a quick hug and left.

Creep.

I'm not a hugger anyway, but I'd hate to be hugged by someone so icky.

Tracy said...

I can totally relate - I have a creepy uncle-in-law like that. He makes inappropriate comments in addition to the inappropriate hugs. Ewww.

{shudder} Reminds me of an older 2nd cousin of mine that has never looked me in the eyes.
