Having seen the previous (?) episode with your wife's parents and the bed, I thought they were very hard-working (mom) and funny people (dad), and in this episode we see that the mom has a great temper and good humor--she never got mad at the various mishaps, instead just laughing at the apparent misfortune. What a great attitude about life! Most of us would be upset for at least a few hours if not a few days (or longer). Losing a phone isn't about the value of the phone so much as what it contains and represents--vital info, photos, memories. Look forward to seeing your dad being pranked someday....
