Mom Knows Best (FF #2)

A short story for Friday Fictioneers using 100 words or less.

The love I developed for my son the day he was born was met with an equal and opposite abhorrence for my mother-in-law.

“He has my Mikey’s eyes, ya know,” she squawked.  “And those long fingers come from my mother’s side.  He has my thin lips.  He’ll inherit Mikey’s dark hair�"that’s the dominant gene�"and not whatever brassy color you have.  What’s your natural hair color, anyway?  Oh! He sneezes like me! He’s definitely his father’s son.”

“Well, Mikey’s not the father…” I lied.  My words slapped her in the face.  Bewildered, she fainted.

I smirked.  Silence at last.
