Teen Queen leaves on Choir Tour tomorrow at dearlordwhogetsupthisearly-thirty. We went shopping for a few new outfits, courtesy of the grandmother with more money than good sense, and I bought a very nice Samsonite rolling suitcase for 55% off at Kohl's. This is the cardboard thingy describing the fantastic features of the suitcase.
Read about the TSA approved lock.
I couldn't make this stuff up, folks.
If this dear girl gets a "piece of mind" every time she "checks in", she'll be a dadgummed genius by the time she gets home next Friday. I'm beside myself with glee, here. This is the nearly-16-year-old who is as sweet as the day is long, but will wear the same underwear until THEY get disgusted and hurl THEMSELVES into the laundry hamper. She will get in the car on Sunday morning without her Bible, her purse, or her SHOES. If she just gets one or two "pieces"...imagine the possibilities...unless she gets a piece of her own mind, which I'm not sure would be a net benefit. Perhaps it's just some free-floating random piece of mind, in which case it might or might not be an improvement, but let's think happy thoughts, 'k?

LOL Hey maybe I need to go buy one of those...Kohls you say?? lately I feel like I could use a few more pieces;-)
I shouldn't be laughing but I am! And so is my husband.
Funny!! I may have to take my girl shopping for some of that luggage.
That is hilarious! Tell her to be careful out there. "They's lotsa pieces floatin' and ya don't know whar they ben."
Some proofreader needs to be retested for his qualifications!
Oh, Robin! Say it ain't so! You mean it might be a typo and there's no chance that any pieces of mind will be coming her way?
Killjoy.
PIECE of mind. The bonus should have been a grammar/spelling handbook. Maybe that's in the kit.
Ya think?
I don't know what's worse...the typo or the fact that it took Melanie's comment for me to notice the difference between PIECE and PEACE!
I. am. such. a. loser. :(
Hey, I want a piece, too. I'd like to specify, please--I'd like to be good in math. :)
This is great. If only one could put in a specific order for a certain type of mind or aptitude. Someone needs a spell-checker.
Don't feel bad GB, I didn't even bother to read the TSA label. I didn't 'get it' until after I read your second comment. Just means I got to laugh harder the second time I read the post. The part about the under wear had me rolling the first time through.
de-lurking to say this was hilarious!
Can I sign up my thirteen year old son? He seems to be losing all manner of piece(s) of mind and good sense daily, hourly even!
Funny stuff.
There has to be some funny comment about the fact that even though it has a lock...all the baggage handlers have the key to open it...just so they can make random checks. Somebody run with it....
The TSA people wrote the line. I'm positive of it.
