Tomorrow is Matriarch's birthday, so in a gesture of love and devotion I should take her out to some fancy restaurant right?  Well after her latest gaffe, maybe not.

Last Thursday after swimming we went out to Cloud Red with some of the crew and Little Motha asks us if we have any travel plans, and Matriarch replies "Yes, we're planning a trip to the Caribbean in November".  Then she adds "We've never been to the Caribbean".

Say what???  Never been to the Caribbean??  Only for our honeymoon!  Now of course that was forty-five years ago, but still how could she forget our honeymoon?

What was she thinking?  Has she really forgotten?  Maybe she doesn't remember the Caribbean because we really didn't see much besides the inside of our hotel room.  But what about those delicious rum cocktails on the beach?

The warranty has expired. It's too late to trade her in.  I guess I'll take her out to dinner after all.  But I'll never ever feel guilty about forgetting a birthday or anniversary again.
