Tina's funny house discovery of the week
So, Jenny thought this story was funny when I told it in person, so I'll give it a shot online.
Tuesday, it's freaking freezing outside, and I'm looking for the best hats, gloves, mittens, ear muffs, whatever I can find. Among the many "useful" things Mr. Insano left in my house for me were two boxes of stuff in the hall closet which I assumed would be hats and gloves, based on the scarf sitting on top of them.
So, I go to the first box - just old work gloves and a couple pairs of lovely 70s style men's gloves (Any of your men need a pair for their costumes?). So I go to the second box, and a cascade of yarmulkes comes flying out at me. There must be 50 in the box. Thank you Mr. Psycho.
So, ok. that story was much better in person. But Chrissy has met Mr. Insano, so she'll understand.

I have a whole box of them if you'd like to see. Erin even found one from the bat mitzvah of someone she used to do gymnastics with!
