We Kamalu-ed!

We have a nice retired couple- the Kamalu's- in our ward that have a cute tradition. Each Saturday night, she sets out his clothes for the next day. She chooses his clothes so that they will match what she plans to wear to church. If she is wearing a purple dress or blouse, he wears a purple tie. If she is wearing something red, his tie is red. He even has a green sport coat for the day she wears green. It's fun to see what they're wearing and how they match. Ken commented to Rod, the husband, about it one Sunday. He explained that if he gets in the wrong color, she says, "Uh uh!" and he has to go back and change. He's from Hawaii and she's from Germany, so that kind of explains it.
So, anytime Ken and I accidentally match (I'm not organized enough to plan it,) we say, "Hey! We Kamalu-ed!" Here's a couple of pictures we took when it happened. Well, actually Kristen took the first one when she was here last spring. We met Ken for dinner and discovered we'd Kamalu-ed. The second one was just last week.
So now, next time you match with someone you can exclaim, "Hey! We Kamalu-ed!"
