Funeral undies

We attended a funeral visitation last week for a dear neighbor of my in-laws.

Due to location, the girls and I met Brent at the funeral home.

We arrived in our recently vacuumed van:

I have to capture a clean van any time I can – because it doesn’t happen often.

Anyway, we stroll in with slightly acceptable clothes, dolls, purses, and more.

As we visited with some of the family, this being roughly 15 minutes in, I look to my right a notice a pink fabric on the ground.

I thought to myself, “those look like Sprite’s underwear.”

*dismiss such a thought*

I return to the nearby conversation, but am wondering about this wad of fabric.

*thinking* “I bet it’s a headband. Yeah, yeah, that’s what it is, a headband.”

*growing confidence in newfound claim*

But, something just keeps bugging me.

Why I didn’t do this a few minutes before is well, who knows, I just didn’t.

Call it benefit of the doubt, I suppose.

Anyway, I meander over to take a closer look at this supposed headband.

*wide-eyed*

It’s underwear.

Pink underwear belonging to Sprite.

Why the bleep is there a pair of my kid’s underwear on the floor of a funeral home?

Dumbfounded.

I quickly scoop them up and shove them in my cardigan pocket.

I stand over by Brent and my mother-in-law and nonchalantly say, “there’s nothing like picking up a pair of my kids underwear off the floor of a funeral home.”

*thumbs up*

“It’s the best and not embarrassing at all!”

As I continued to contemplate the reason for this incident, I had a revelation: it was because of Torpedo.

She likes to pack bags with a random assortment of clothing that is piled on or fell off of laundry couch.

And, this time she selected a pair of underwear and stuffed them in Tempest’s purse.

I mean, you never know when you’ll need an extra pair of underwear.

Really, she was preparing to save someone’s day.
