The little things

It is always the little things in life that make you laugh your guts out. A great example of this is the story that my mom told me this morning of the evening's misunderstanding.
My Nana and her best friend Rose were here visiting for a few days. Sadly, they left this morning. Last night however my mom was showing them my...cough, cough.. I mean her favorite toy she was given last Christmas. Being the excitement of the toy ( a silhouette cameo) and it being their last night with us they were up quite late. I was not as big on the idea of staying up all hours because I had a long day at school and was looking forward to a soft, sad bed that was in need of some comforting and quality time. I had a lot to carry upstairs from my car and thought I had been successful in not dropping anything on the way. This morning I was informed otherwise.
I always carry a few hand sanitizing wipes with me everywhere I go. I am unfortunately running out of the nice ones I purchased in AZ the last time I visited. They are Giovanni towelettes that smell of lavender. Just looking at them and not knowing that they are hand wipes anyone would think that they are ...cough, cough... not hand wipes. So when dear, sweet Rose picked it up and gave it to my mother with a look I can only imagine to be a combination of humor and horror; my mom was ecstatic that I had dropped it and was now claiming it for her own!  Can you not imagine her jumping up and down saying, "It's one of the good one! I'm so not going to give this back to her!"
She didn't actually tell Rose or Nana that it wasn't a condom so I have no idea what they would have thought at the excitement of my mother's "it's mine, I'm not giving it back" dance.
I love our family!
