Me: "Hey, [Sister], just to let you know, I'm all done, so I'm driving back to yours now. Should be there in about half an hour."
Sister: "Oh! Oh… wow… that's earlier than I was expecting."
Me: "Yeah, the errands didn't take as long as I thought."
Sister: "Uhm… okay…"
Me: "Why do you sound weird?"

During the next few hours, we both remember small things we forgot, and jokingly say we have to turn around each time. Just under an hour from our destination, we pull out of a gas station after filling up. I’m scrolling on my phone when:
Dad: "S***, I forgot my suit…"

notalwaysrelated_feedRead The Purrfect Storm
My family had two cats, who were opposites in a couple of ways. One of them was quite silly, as she would stand beneath the towel hanging off the oven, and if a single drop of water dripped on her when someone dried their hands, she would be VERY offended.

Back when everyone used landlines, our home number was one digit removed from a local Italian restaurant. We're used to getting calls for them, but usually those calls are made inside normal business hours.
The family wakes up on a Sunday morning to see that a voicemail has been left on our machine at 3 AM (we slept through it). We rewind the tape (this story is old!) and listen:
