No, it is "go to the mattress". It is a Godfather term meaning go to the safe houses (sleep on the mattresses) when mafia families fight each other. Kind of odd, but for some reason I find it charming that as the fight starts, the "fighters" leave their family homes to keep the wives and children safe.

I think it's smart to specify which item goes to which person if there is a lot of $$ jewelry. I'm sure that when MIL passes away, her dil (not me) will have a cow if she doesn't get anything. I'd be fine if her daughter (dh's sister) got most of it. [ Reply | More
