Perfect Moment Monday
The scene: Jewish nursing home in New Jersey. Melissa, wearing a hooded sweatshirt and pyjama bottoms, greets the other people sitting at her grandmother’s lunch table.
Grandma: This is my granddaughter, Melissa. She is so smart; so smart. I don’t know what I did to get such a smart granddaughter. She writes books. People pay her to write.
Elderly Jewish people stare at Melissa with keen expectation that something brilliant is about to be said.
Melissa: I forgot to pack pants this trip. That’s why I’m wearing my pyjama bottoms. Because I forgot to pack pants.
Silence.
Elderly Jewish Woman: It’s a different kind of smart.

Can’t. Breathe.
Laughing too hard.
You are a different kind of everything, and I mean that as a HUGE compliment.
Too funny.
(I hope they were your pajama bottoms. Unlike my mother who packed her pants in the suitcase picked up the night before the end of a cruise and had to borrow pajama bottoms from my friend so she could leave the ship. It’s a family classic.)
Okay, I laughed really, really hard at that. You are awesome.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

You’re not the only one, my dear. I have forgotten lots of things on trips over the years. The most egregious was when I forgot to pack bras and underwear.
Brilliant. 🙂
Ha! Priceless!
LOL!!!!
Awesome.
Forgot to add: Once we went on a trip with my cousin, who is also a different kind of smart. Christian was unpacking his suitcase up in the loft and all of a sudden we hear him shout “OH MAN!” “What?!” we all ask, wondering if perhaps a squirrel died up there in the year since we’d been to the cabin.
“I forgot to pack any underwear.” he replied in a small voice.
We never let him forget that!
hahahahaha
OMG that is freakin’ hilarious!
LOL, love it. Sounds like something I would do 🙂
