Thanks Val and Dottie. That's very helpful to hear. Saying that did give her pause... how could it not? But I have a feeling that when she gets older, my in-laws are going to have this "we're very proud of her, even though she is a freakshow" mentality. They're never going to get her. It probably gets to me more than it should, particularly given the fact that I just generally don't see eye to eye w/ the in-laws, but this is my dd we're talking about, you know? grr/sigh/ah well...
