Back in the 60’s and 70’s, it was considered joking around and the challenge was to top the other person… but we all understood it was meant in fun (Watch some TV Sit-Coms of that era for a reference). Those whose feelings were easily hurt or sensitive avoided such verbal jousts; and those of us that reveled in the “put-down” avoided playing with the other kids that felt they were so masterful at “Dishing-It-Out” but “Couldn’t-Take-It”.

Earl steps in it regularly. He should watch where he is walking.

Maybe Earl LIKES his relationship with his sis-in-law!

I make sure I never have any run-ins with my very volatile, SIL. I just ignore her ! Not as easy as it sounds, since she lives next door !

In Pearls case, a personality transplant couldn’t hurt.
