Thank you for joining me this Perfect Moment Monday sponsored by Lori of Weebles Wobblog!
The boys and I went to San Diego to visit my parents for the weekend. My mother can be quite the "Nudge" (Yiddish for nag) and is getting on in years. It takes some ergonomic engineering for her to get in and out of my minivan with her bionic knees. Everytime she is a passenger in my car and I mean EVERYTIME Without Fail, when she is about halfway situated in the seat with one foot in the the car and one on the ground, she always says, "Don't go anywhere."
Finally, yesterday I turned to her and said, "Mom, I have yet to drive off with anybody half in and half out of my car."
And we shared a laugh together.
It really is the little things.
Thank you and sending my best for a laugh with a loved one.
Another Perfect Moment of mine can be had at the All Thumbs Review blog. I am guest host today in a post about the organic and aromatherapy skin care line, Benedetta. Thank you to Lori and Chicklet for this privilege.

I could have written a perfect moment post about being able to take the week off from All Thumbs Reviews -- YOU did ME the favor!
Funny story about your Nudge. :-)
Moms are great! I can just imagine what pearls I'll be coming out with when I hit my mom's age. Thanks for sharing!
I'm off to read the review, though can't get those products here in Portugal.
Luv,
RAxx
very cute story!! i missed seeing your pixels in cyberspace! and how cool the line is named benedetta... my middle name is benedette! :)
Reminds me of my (non-Jewish but still a nudge) mother's constant reminders to "watch my purse" whenever she goes to the bathroom in a restaurant. Every time. For three decades and counting.
Love it! Great story. You made me laugh...cause we all have our own "Nudge" :)
Love the story...you always leave me all smiles :-)
I happened upon your blog as I was re-reading the comments I posted on various blogs. As I was re-reading my comment, and sniggering to myself - another comment caught my eye.
No - it wasn't your comment, but upon investigation I found that the person was a follower of your blog - and I do judge books by their cover and titles: so your blog title intrigued me. I clicked the link, perused your entries and really enjoy your posts.
I look forward to more of your insights and musings.
Would it be horribly wrong if next time, as she's getting into your car, you rev the engine? Just a little? Am I horrible person for wanting to see what happens? Have a FABULOUS week, Martha.
Oh Martha - you DO know how to make me laugh! That isn't just a perfect moment...it is a perfectly hillarious moment!
Great story! So glad you have never 'gone anywhere' at a bad time! :)
How sweet.
That's just funny! Nudge is one of my hubby's fave expressions! He is half-polish! lol!
LOL. This totally made me laugh. Bionic knees! LOL love it.
