# is that what a pop over is?
I wondered. Last time I was over there my mother-in-law asked if I wanted some...I hadn't a clue what she was going on about, I thought it had something to do with socks

# if your mother in law did cook socks and offer you some
would you accept it?

You don't see that one in etiquette books!

# I would politely refuse
saying that unfortunatly I have an alergy to socks

I had to say much the same thing when she made some chicken curry with rice...obviously I replaced the word 'socks' with 'rice'
