A conversation with the husband:
me: Guess what I just set our luggage-lock combination to! It’s three numbers.
the husband: 4-21
me: Oh?
the husband: <sensing the danger>
me: And … what happened on 4-21?
the husband: <thinking> My mom was born.
me: hmm. That’s not the combination.
the husband: When did we get married again?
Guess he’s not gonna get to wear any clean clothes on our trip …

Well… there are mitigating circumstances that I can not divulge for the sake of our luggage security. But in my defense, I assure you all that it was a reasonable mistake to have made.
I think claiming to forget important dates because of operational security is a valid excuse…
He is such a good son.
