Mother In-Law Hates My Tikis. What to do? - General Tiki

My mother in law is fundamentalist Baptist, with an exceptionally narrow view. She got a bit nervous about our Tikis, so we told her they were just part of Polynesian folklore to scare away evil spirits, sort of like a jungle scarecrow. To my amazement, she was satisfied with this. Crazy thing is, she hasn't had a problem with our building an outdoor tiki bar. I don't think she's caught on to the tiki BAR aspect. Hoping she thinks we just plan to serve milkshakes. No question she is taking a wholly unreasonable position. Is there any chance you could speak to her pastor and (assuming the pastor is more reasonable, which might be a long-shot),have them intercede on your behalf?
