A husband invited his mother in-law to come to his house. He wanted to give her a surprise gift. He actually planned it to make his wife happy so he didn’t tell her his plans.

The gift he planned to give his mother inlaw was hollandaise wrappers. For the fact that he does know how to get the original one he decided to involve his wife.

He told her that he wanted to buy hollandaise wrappers for his mother. He further requested that she make inquiry about the price.

The wife told him that the amount is 40,000 per one. He gave her money to buy 3 pieces. The woman decided to buy the smaller version at 7000 naira per one.

On the D- day, she was expecting her mother inlaw. Behold, her mother appeared. They were actually living at the same area. After the woman had settled down a little, the man told his wife to bring the gift.

” Mama, when we visited you last time, I overheard when you were telling your son to buy an original hollandaise for you. I made up my mind to also buy for you. My wife told me what it would cost and I gave her money to by 3 for you. This is it,”

The woman nearly fainted in excitement. Immediately the man went out, her mother inlaw hurriedly opened the parcel and discovered that what was delivered was different from what was ordered for.

“What is this?” Her mother asked in anger. “You don’t know original hollandaise?”

“Mama please don’t be offended. My husband did not tell me that the wrapper was for you. He told me that I was buying it for his mother,” her daughter answered.

“So your mother in law is not a human being and she doesn’t deserve a good thing?”

She threw the wrappers on her daughter and told told her, ” Go and buy exactly what your husband told you to buy for me. Also learn to love your mother inlaw the way your husband loved me. What is good for the goose is also good for the gander.
