Should I? Can I? Pretty please?

Ok maybe not, I'll just think it. My mother-in-law has this thing about putting meat scraps out in the trash before trash day. Animals will get in the trash, don't you know. She usually sticks bones and skin and other meat leftovers in a plastic bag and puts it into the freezer until trash day. When she makes something at my house, sometimes she leaves "meat surprise" in the freezer. Months later when we're cleaning things out, we go "what's this?" And then we realize it's an Oma surprise and we put it out in the trash. Well last week we were at her house for a duck dinner. It was 2 days until our trash day and hers wasn't for another 2 or 3 days after that. So she asks Richard to take the meat scraps with us and put it in our trash. So we get home and unload the leftovers, etc., take care of some things and go to bed. A few days later, my car begins to smell funny. So I ask the kids if there's any rotting food in the car that they may have dropped. "No", they say. And how would they know? They didn't leave it. So one morning I'm leaving and it really smells bad now. I conduct a search and there is grandma's meat surprise in a plastic bag behind the driver's seat, nice and ripe. So I delayed my trip just long enough to give the bag to Richard with my thanks. So today I made chicken soup. I put all the bones and skin in a plastic bag and told Richard to give it to his mother. He didn't get the joke. Ok, I really just put it outside in the trash, but I was so, so tempted. Bad Dawn.
