Mor⋅ti⋅fi⋅ca⋅tion
-noun
When you're walking to the makolet and you realize when you're nearly there that your shoes are not matching. That you're wearing one bright orange and one black croc because that was what you were wearing around the house when you couldn't find a pair and needed to wear something to go out to feed the animals. And then you walk home crouching down, trying to get your ankle length skirt to cover your shoes, and when that doesn't work, using your stroller as a shield so that no one could see your feet from the front, and trying to walk in all sorts of strange ways trying to figure out a way that people on one side of you only can see the shoe thats on the side closest to them and not the other one. And you're praying the whole time home "Please Hashem, let me not bump into anyone i know!"

Bi⋅zarre
-adjective
When, after a rainstorm, you discover something that looks remarkably like a half rotten tobacco stained worn down human molar perched merrily on top of your seedlings on your windowsill, and you try to figure out if that tooth came from the bag of bought compost, an upstairs neighbor, or is a peculiar a gift from heaven. You try to figure out with your husband whether that is a real tooth or a false tooth, and debate whether it belongs in the garbage or if someone is likely to come claim it.
