Before we married I met my hubby's family, his Mom and (7) siblings, very nice visit but had to get used to this large family during my week long visit with leaving the sugar bowl for coffee or the butter dish uncovered on the kitchen counter all day long until someone decided to clean off the counter, after we married had to remind hubby to put the covered sugar bowl away and put the butter back in the fridge after using, it didn't take too long for him to remember, just the thought of a trail of ants on the counter freaked me out.
