A Conversation With My MIL

A conversation with my mum-in-law in Cantonese translated to English:

MIL: Ah Lynn ah, don’t use the IKEA plastic bags.

Me: Why-lar?

MIL: Very bad quality, it breaks… after a long time not using it, the plastic bags disappears.

Me: *puzzled* * really puzzled* - look at hubs *scratching my head* *still puzzled*

Hubs: Its bio degradable, which is why, it disappears.

MIL: Why would they do that?

Hubs: It easier to dispose, save the environment.

MIL: So difficult for me…aiyah…save what environment-la.

Me: look at hubs *chuckles* * slap head*

Ignorance can be adorable sometimes!
