To Clip or Not to Clip…

In the history of my mothers escapades, there are moments that are just too hilarious not to share, like one beautiful summer day when we were invited to a company a picnic a friend was hosting.

I arrived to pick up my mom, and we drove over to the park where we were seated on a wooden picnic table, enjoying wine, snacks, and all kinds of delicious food. The day was perfect, filled with laughter and good company.

After about two hours of fun and relaxation, Mom suddenly announced that she needed to use the restroom. She disappeared into the bathroom for a few minutes and emerged holding a huge pair of toenail clippers. With a mischievous grin, she exclaimed that she had just found them in her underwear.

We all burst into laughter, unable to believe what we were hearing. How could toenail clippers end up in someone's underwear? Mom proceeded to explain that when she was applying her Poise pad, she had peeled off the sticky backing and placed it on the counter to put in her underwear. Unbeknownst to her, the sticky backing had attached itself to the large toenail clippers. So, when she pulled up her underwear, the clippers went along for the ride, tucked away behind the pad.

It was a moment of sheer hilarity, and we couldn't stop laughing. Mom's reaction was priceless, and we all agreed that it was just another day in life with our mom!
