Trishie Tales #2 by Kristin Slye
On New Years Day 2008, I met up with Tricia at our community’s annual celebration. Because it was a day-long event, one needed to pack a bag full of comfort items like sunglasses, snacks, a jacket, sunscreen, etc. Much to my dismay, I opened my bag at the party, only to find that instead of my regular pack, I had brought my son’s nearly identical diaper bag instead. I was so bummed that I didn’t have what I needed for the day. I said, “What am I going to do with a bag of diapers?” Without missing a beat, Tricia shouted, “Party hats!,” She reached in the bag and starting putting them on everyone’s heads. It was hilarious and magical. Just like that, I went from being bummed to delighted thanks to Trishie.
