I Always Get Sick When Mom-In-Law Cooks – Then I Swap Plates With My Husband…

hello my name is Wendy and I have a crazy story for you it happened to me last month when I ate dinner and my mother-in-law for some reason I always tended to get sick after I ateed her place it got me suspicious so I secretly switched plates with my husband what happened next was bizarre I always get sick when mom-in-law Cooks then I swap plates with my husband I noticed the stomach ailments for a while before finally acting on it and usually it took about an hour before the cramp took hold of me but the pain was unlike anything I've ever experienced and for some strange reason the symptoms always started right after I ate at my mother-in-law when I told my husband benam about it he did not understand the connection either after all he was also present at his mother's house we ate the same food shared the same ER and he never got sick for some reason there must have been a variable we were missing was my mother-in-law doing something to me specifically something to make me sick every time the thought of this woman hurting me on purpose caus my head to spin I've always had a good relationship with her so I couldn't think of any reason why she would do that but I just had to find out that's why after many unresolved discussions with Ben we decided to revisit my dear mother-in-law that week my stomach was Calm before we entered her house so that was a good starting point we arrived just before dinner time and the old lady invited us into her loving home like always but when dinner was almost ready I noticed that Ben's mother wanted to Plate the dishes in the kitchen the kitchen was behind a closed door so there would be enough privacy for her to slip something into my food luckily I noticed it in time so right before her first scoop I walked in on her I saw Meredith which was her name put the spoon back into her big pot when she saw me enter did I just stop her devilish scheme anyhow after I entered the kitchen I asked Meredith if we could plate the food together at the dining table making it more family style this gesture was of course by Design however Meredith didn't seem to mine because the woman let go of her spoon and agreed instantly she asked me to carry the pot while she dressed the table for for serving everything seemed fine up until that point we said Grace and she served us all at the table and I watched every move like a hawk everything seemed normal Meredith poured everyone from the same pot and didn't make any suspicious moood during dinner maybe I was just imagining things was the the thought that crossed my mind after the last bite the food was delicious so we thanked Mar for dinner and drove home but then almost EX l 1 hour after dinner the pain started again this time the cramps tortured me even worse how is this possible um she must have done something to me but I didn't understand what it was I had to know so I instantly called Meredith hid in the pain during our conversation I asked her if we could come over again the next day she sounded pleased with my request and even told me what she would make Meredith was excited but I was on a mission the next day almost everything went the same way uh we ate Family Style again but this time was going to be different right before our Forks dug into the food I distracted Ben and Meredith I used a lame diversion about a bird in the window luckily for me both of them fell for it and looked that's when I silently switched plates with my husband and acted like nothing happened we ate dinner and I watched his behavior closely Ben seemed completely fine during dinner but that all changed in our car drive home it started with a soft moan but that impulsive noise quickly escalated even causing Ben to park the car beside the road he asked me to take over the wheel because his body was hurting so bad once we fully stopped on the side of the road be um conveyed the thing I was already afraid of he said that his stomach felt like it was out to get him and that confirmed it for me Meredith was out to get me how I did not know but this pain was no accident once we got home I knew exactly what to do I was already familiar with Ben's pain since I used to be the recipient of Marita's dinner I drew up a warm bath gave Ben some painkillers and together we waited for a couple hours eventually the pain subsided and that was the moment I came clean I told Ben about my suspicions surrounding the food his mother made I also told him that I plan in the second dinner on purpose in secretly switched plates Ben was in shock and wanted to know more but when I said that I watched Meredith Scoop from the same pot we had to look at other variables it went quiet for a few minutes as we both contemplated ideas and then it hit me it's the plates I screamed completely forgetting that Ben was just a few feet away from me the food is completely the same but your mom gave me the same plate every time I explained to Ben Ben rubbed his ears indicating that I screamed too loudly but after he recovered he looked at me with questioning eyes but why would she do that Ben asked me I couldn't give my husband a satisfying answer yet but I knew something was up we had to get over to Mer's home within 15 minutes we stood before Meredith's door my mother-in-law opened up and when she did I did not waste any time I asked her about the plates and if she always presented me with the same one every time I already knew the answer but it still shocked me when she said yeah Meredith said that it was a force of habit something about the guest of honor receiving the prettiest plate in the set for a moment my suspicion subsided a bit as I felt appreciated by my mother-in-law but I quickly snapped out of it and asked Marth if I could see the set of plate Marth walked into the living room with six stacked plates spread them out on the table they all had different colored illustrations on top and I inspected them all which one is always given to me I asked Meredith pointed toward the green one so I picked that one up it seemed like a regular plate to me at first so I knew I would not get an answer there on the spot I asked Meredith if I could take the plate with me not explaining my reasoning at that point I still suspected Meredith of causing the stomach pain so revealing my intent would have been stupid uh luckily for me Meritt the green and I could take the plate home without much questioning back home I know I searched online for answers the plate had a serial number which I typed into multiple sites amazingly I got a match on my second search oh my God this thing was made in 1824 so it was only a fabrication year but it felt important and that intuition would later prove to be correct what I did know was that I needed help and I knew just where to get it I had a friend who worked for a local Museum and if anyone could help me with it would be her once at the Museum my friend inspected the plate just like I did and she made some interesting discoveries right away this is a rare find she stated she asked me where I got the plate and I explained that Ben's mom owned it uh she listened closely and then said the most shocking thing so don't tell me you ate from the those were exact words the way she said it made me step back for a moment I said that I did and then everything became clear I explained that this was one out of six pieces they all all had different colors and I was eight from the green one after that my friend sat me down and tried to explain to me as best she could that I was very lucky before 1850 making green dye from natural materials was almost impossible other color materials could be found easily but harmful chemicals and other nasty stuff needed to be used to make this method later became forbidden when new ways of making color were developed so green paint or green cam mclays did not pose a thread after 1850 but your plate back to 1824 which makes it highly poisonous nobody should eat from this this plate should only be for show and tell so I can honestly say that this discovery gave me the chills um did my mother-in-law know about this fact was she deliberately trying to poison me tons of questions rised through my mind and there was only one way I could answer them I had to confront Meredith with this revelation after saying goodbye to my friend I took the plate and drove back to Meredith's house as quickly as possible I rang the doorbell and looked into the face of my potential enemy I presented my mother-in-law with the plate in the fact and to my surprise Meredith was just as shocked as I was how did you come by this set of plates was my question and that question opened a whole new box of mysteries Mysteries with answers that were even more dire than the green plate in front of me Meredith said the set was part of her father's inheritance after he died a few years ago all right that seems to make sense is what I thought the set was probably a family heirloom being passed down through generations but when I asked Meredith about about it she said that she never saw the Ceramics growing up in her father's house they just appeared out of the blue it appeared out of the blue what do you mean merth applied that she had already received everything in the will but the ceramic set was not part of it the set arrived one month later it just appeared on my doorstep out of nowhere and the box of Ceramics came with a note the note came from the notary at least that was what my mother-in-law thought up until this point Meredith stepped into the other room and came back with a small p piece of paper I started reading and then my mouth dropped to the floor sorry I forgot this special part of the will this ceramic set is very special to me and I want you to have it especially the green plate I hold dear eat from it on special occasions love dad with the knowledge I acquired this all sounded way too suspicious like her father wanted to add poison to Meredith's life I knew I had to call Meredith's notary to find out more and it was the right call because the notary knew nothing about a ceramic set he said nothing like that was ever in the will he gave everything Meredith's father owned to her and knew every item he added and ceramic set wasn't included yes Meredith got basically every last item in her father's will unlike his two other children who were left behind with nothing Meredith stated to me why didn't they get anything was what I asked her Meredith replied by saying that they left their father behind in an old folks home they never showed any interest in their father so when he died the old man left everything in his will to Meredith when my mother-in-law spoke those words the plot thickened but I was starting to figure out where this was going as a response I called the police to see if my hunt was correct Meredith and I spoke to the police together explaining all that had happened and showing them the green plate I ate from luckily they took the case very seriously and offered to help immediately and after that it didn't take us long to figure out the whole truth behind the ceramic set across the street from eda's house was a street Lantern and in that poll a neighborhood surveillance camera was placed just a few years ago Meredith and the police knew about this but luckily not everyone did see we were brought back to the police station where the footage was not my mother-in-law wasn't the best with technology so I was the one who was allowed to scroll through the footage Meredith looked on while I scanned through the day surrounding the ceramic findings it didn't take us long to find out who did the deed cuz after about an hour of searching mered pointed we saw two people approaching my mother-in-law's doorstep they were holding a big brown box the footage had no sound so we couldn't hear the two individuals talk but there was no need for that because the images validated themselves one of them opened the box and pulled out one of the plates for final inspection while the other one uh the dude looked straight into the security camera I know them Meredith yelled I hope she would and what she said next confirm my hunch Meredith pointed the two people out and said they were her brother and sister is that right we haven't seen each other in years Meredith was still on the fence and in denial about what she saw on the footage but I had already figured this out and the local police department seemed to agree with me I shared with them what we saw on the camera footage and they immediately set out to bring Meredith's two siblings in for questioning I was happy when these Crooks were brought in and I was even more thrilled when they spilled their guts after police interrogation it wasn't hard the police just laid out the facts and told the brother that his sister had ratted him out I instantly told the cop everything they wanted to hear they were greedy and jealous because their sister Meredith got everything in the will both didn't care for their father but they still wanted their sum of money that's why they executed their plan they bought the plates at an online auction with the full knowledge of the mercury poison and the green dye they plan to slowly poison their sister by saying her father wanted her to eat off the green plate but they didn't calculate that Meredith would always give her most special plate to the guest of honor and in this case that was me I was honored by Meredith's thinking but horrified by her siblings action the forensics who analyzed the play said that we were lucky because I was younger and therefore more vitally fit than Meredith my body resisted the Mercury and the die better I still needed a full monitor of my body for a full 6 months after the investigation but if Meredith would have ingested the poison then things would probably have gone much differently then my husband would have had to bury his mother in a way my sickness saved my mother's life immediately after the arrest of her siblings I ran to my mother-in-law and apologized for ever suspecting her of such a heinous thing together we destroyed the plates so no one could ever eat from them again Meredith's brother and sister were put behind bars for attempted murder and the bond between me and my mother-in-law grew even stronger after that I love Meredith with all my heart and this crazy story made it even more so
